1California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”) provides a comprehensive regulatory
and visionary plan to repurpose a portion of the Azusa Greens Country Club (“Azusa Greens”) to allow the
development of an Independent Senior Living Village (“Senior Village”) on 4.48 acres. Development of the
Senior Village would occur in an area of the Azusa Greens existing golf holes 3 and 6. This Specific Plan
applies to development of the Senior Village parcel only.
The Senior Village consists of a residential community of 253 dwellings for seniors (age 62 and older). All
dwellings are for lease and the unit mix will consist of 199 Independent Living residences, 28 Assisted Living
residences, and 26 Memory Care suites. A total of 253 parking spaces are provided in a multi-level parking
structure, completely surrounded by the Senior Village residences.
The Senior Village project’s goal is to provide housing for independent seniors who wish to live and age in
place within a resort-like setting, with amenities such as meals in a gourmet restaurant, deli, housekeeping,
concierge, security, high-tech movie theater, computer café, art studio, salon, pool and spa, gym/fitness
rooms, transportation, and numerous programmed activities and outings.
Implementation of the development under this Specific Plan would require the following actions by the
City of Azusa:
»Certification of an Environmental Impact Report for the project.
»Approval of a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Open Space
to California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan.
»Approval of a Zone Change to change the zoning from Recreation to California Grand Village
Azusa Greens Specific Plan.
»Adoption of the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan.
»Approval of a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the Azusa Greens property to create the
4.48-acre parcel for development of the Senior Village.
»Approval of the Design Review tor the conceptual plans for the Senior Village.Section1INTRODUCTION

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 2
The Specific Plan area encompasses 4.48 acres located within the northwest corner of the City of Azusa,
north of Interstate 210 and west of Highway 39 as shown on Figure 1. Development of the Senior Village
under this Specific Plan will occur on a parcel located at the southeast corner of West Sierra Madre Avenue
(Sierra Madre Avenue) and North Todd Avenue (Todd Avenue) as shown on Figure 2, specifically in the area
of golf holes 3 and 6 of Azusa Greens (a portion of Assessor Parcel Number 8617-001-005). Currently the
Specific Plan area is owned and operated by Azusa Greens Country Club, LLC.
1.2 Location of the Specific Plan Area
1.3 Existing Land Use
The Specific Plan area’s General Plan designation is Open Space; the site is within the “West End Industrial
District Boundary as shown on Figure 3. The site is zoned Recreation as shown on 4.
The Specific Plan area is currently occupied by Azusa Greens, specifically, two golf holes (3 and 6) that play
north/south between an existing light industrial business (Rain Bird) on the east and Todd Avenue on the
west. This area of the golf course is relatively flat. Ornamental trees line both sides of each fairway and
the course includes sand traps. Water features are not present on this portion of the golf course. A single
concrete block bathroom structure is located south of the Specific Plan area, between the north/south holes
(Holes 3 and 6) and the existing east/west holes (Holes 4 and 5). Figure 5 provides an aerial with the existing
numbered golf holes for reference purposes.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 8
1.5 Authority and Scope
California Governmental Code Section 65450 et. seq. authorizes cities to prepare specific plans for the
“systematic implementation of the general plan for all or part of the area covered by the general plan.”1
Furthermore, specific plans implement a city’s General Plan in greater detail through application of
development standards, programs, and regulations, thus establishing a link to the General Plan with a
specific project. Section 65451 requires specific plans include the following:
(1) The distribution, location and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area
covered by the plan.
(2) The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and
private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential
facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land
uses described in the plan.
(3) Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation,
development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
(4) A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and
financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3).
Land uses on and surrounding the Specific Plan area are summarized in the following table.
1.4 Surrounding Land Uses

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 10
1.7 Organization of the Specific Plan
Section 2.0 Goals and Objectives. This section identifies the goals and objectives of the Specific Plan. The
goals and objectives help describe the vision of the proposed development. (Government Code Section
65451)
Section 3.0 Land Use Plan. The Land Use Plan establishes the land use designation(s) within the Specific
Plan area. (Government Code Section 65451(a)(1))
Section 4.0 Development Plan. The Development Plan provides a detailed written and graphic description
of the development of the Specific Plan area. (Government Code Section 65451(a)(3))
The City’s General Plan establishes land use patterns, and overall policies and goals to govern how the
land use patterns are established. By law, a specific plan must be in conformance or consistent with the
General Plan, including applicable policies and goals. The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research defines
consistency with a General Plan as “a program or project that will further the objectives and policies of the
General Plan and not obstruct their attainment.” It is the intent of the City Council that this Specific Plan
will lead to the systematic implementation of the General Plan goals and policies that relate to, and control,
development in the Specific Plan area.
The City of Azusa General Plan is unique in that the land use designation for the project site is Open Space,
however, the site also falls within the West End Light Industrial District, which has its own goals and policies.
Therefore, analysis of consistency with the General Plan also includes analysis of West End Industrial District
policies.

12California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan
This Specific Plan defines land use regulations, development standards, and architectural guidelines for
future development within the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan’s standards, regulations, and guidelines
are tools that the City and Developer/Land Owner will refer to for development and design guidance. The
Specific Plan replaces standard zoning regulations applicable to the Specific Plan area. The following goals
and objectives are established for the Specific Plan area:
»Provide “for rent” housing for seniors, 62 years and older.
»Provide an amenity-rich, luxurious lifestyle Senior Village that provides full-service meals, house-
keeping, activities, and full-time on-site management and security.
»Provide limited continuing care, such as Assisted Living and Memory Care.
»Integrate development within the Specific Plan area with existing and future surrounding development.
»Create a design that ensures attractive architecture for buildings, outdoor spaces, landscaping, and
establishes a distinct yet harmonized look and feel for the Senior Village.
»Develop a Senior Village that provides fiscal benefit to the City, whereby revenues from the new
community exceed public expenditures needed to serve and maintain the community.
»Provide public infrastructure improvements required to support the land uses envisioned under the
Specific Plan.
»Provide continued connectivity for golf play between holes 2 and 7 north of Sierra Madre Avenue
and holes 3 – 6 south of Sierra Madre Avenue.

1. Assisted Living Facility. A residential building or buildings that also provide housing, personal
and health care, as permitted by the department of social services, designed to respond to the
daily, individual needs of the residents. Assisted Living Facilities may include kitchenettes (small
refrigerator, sink and/or microwave oven) within individual rooms. Assisted Living Facilities are
required to be licensed by the California Department of Social Services, and do not include skilled
nursing services.
2. Independent Living Center/Senior Apartment. Independent living centers and senior apartments
and are multi-family residential projects reserved for senior citizens, where common facilities may
be provided (for example, recreation areas), but where each dwelling unit has individual living,
sleeping, bathing, and kitchen facilities.
3. Life Care Facility. Sometimes called continuing care retirement communities, or senior continuum
of care complex, these facilities provide a wide range of care and supervision, and also provide
health care (skilled nursing) so that residents can receive medical care without leaving the facility.
Residents can expect to remain, even if they become physically incapacitated later in life. Life care
facilities require multiple licensing from the state department of social services, the state department
of health services, and the state department of insurance.

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 18
In addition to residences, the Senior Village includes amenities for residents and guests. Planned amenities
for the Independent Living portion of the Senior Village include at minimum the following:
»Meals prepared by a central kitchen in a formal dining room. The dining room can also be used for
activities, such as holiday programs or concerts for residents.
»A wine bar/outdoor patio on a roof deck.
»Fitness rooms, with training staff available, and instructed classes.
»Outdoor pool and spa.
»Outdoor deck/courtyard surrounding the pool with soft seating, fire pits, umbrellas.
»Day spa/wellness center facility.
»Multi-purpose meeting and activity rooms that provide for a range of activities, such as computers,
library, games, and music.
»Movie theater.
»Hair salon.
»Outdoor space consists of patios, gardens, trails, a dog park, and passive landscaped areas.
»Administrative and management offices, with on-site staff who provide services such as a concierge,
transportation, activities, and programming.
The Assisted Living and Memory Care portions of the Senior Village also provide amenities on a smaller
scale. Those amenities include separate dining room, multi-purpose rooms, and outdoor courtyards with
gardens.
The Senior Village is purposefully designed to provide common open space over individual private open space
for three primary reasons. First, the demographics of the Senior Village are very different from traditional
multi-family housing that often have children living in the home and pets that require private outdoor space.
Second, the purpose of the Senior Village is to minimize maintenance/cleaning obligations for the residents,
which increase with private open space. Third, studies have shown that it is healthier for seniors to interact
socially with others. Therefore, the Senior Village is designed to provide a healthier lifestyle by encouraging
its residents to use common open space instead of private open space.
Figures 9 through 12 are floor plans of the Senior Village that are colored to highlight the open space for
Independent Living (green color) and open space for Memory Care and Assisted Living (blue color). In total,
the open space for Independent Living represents an average of 272 square feet per residence. The average
open space for Assisted Living/Memory Care, is 247 square feet per residence. Where possible, individual
Independent Living residences have balconies or patios, a minimum of 40 square feet, that provide individual
outdoor living space.

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 23
The following design attributes of the floor plans are summarized below and shown in Figures 13 through
16.
Parking
»A central parking structure provides multiple story parking decks to provide residents direct access
to their respective residential floor. The parking structure includes three full levels of parking and
a partially covered roof with additional uncovered parking, for residents, guests, and employees.
Additional information regarding the Parking Requirements can be found within Section 4.4.4
Parking Plan and within the parking study found in Appendix B.
First Floor Plan
»Vehicle and primary pedestrian entry to the Senior Village occurs from Todd Avenue, located south
of the midpoint of the property.
»The project entry includes a circular driveway around a specimen tree. A porte-cochère crosses a
portion of the circular drive to provide a covered entry
»The parking structure takes access from the circular drive directly north of the entry. Access to the
parking structure would be restricted to residents, guests, and employees through the use of gates.
»Surrounding, and north of the structure, are Independent Living residences. Residences on the
perimeter take access from an interior hallway corridor and open out to the exterior of the building
with a patio. Residences on the interior also take access from an interior hallway corridor and open
out to a courtyard containing a patio, garden, pool, and hot tub.
»The southeast corner of the courtyard is occupied by the spa and wellness center. This area contains
a spa with massage services, and fitness studios.
»East of the circular entry are the common area facilities. A living room allows for social gatherings
while other meeting rooms allow for smaller group activities. Additional meeting and activity rooms
provide for a range of social and individual activities or events, such as computers, games, music,
movies, reading, furthering education, etc.
»A bistro provides quick ‘grab-n-go’ food items. Farther east is the full-service restaurant style
dining room and kitchen. The dining room opens to an outdoor patio for indoor/outdoor dining
and gathering.
»Adjacent to the common areas is the administration area including management and marketing
offices, accounting, and security.
»South of the circular entry is the Memory Care wing. An outdoor fenced garden provides controlled
walking and sitting space. Memory Care suites extend around the perimeter of this area.
»A separate dining, living and activity areas for Memory Care are located adjacent to the kitchen and
wellness staff areas.

Second Floor Plan
»The second floor of the parking structure provides direct access to the Independent Living residential
area.
»Independent Living residences surrounding, and to the north of the structure, take access from an
interior hallway corridor and open out to the exterior of the building with balconies. Residences
on the interior also take access from an interior hallway corridor and open out to a courtyard with
balconies.
»Additional common area space is provided on the second floor in the area east of the circular
driveway. The common area includes multi-purpose rooms for a variety of programmed activities.
»Assisted Living residences are provided on the second floor, south of the circular driveway area.
This wing of the community includes a separate Assisted Living dining room, multi-purpose room,
wellness/therapy room, bistro/living area, and barber/salon. Access to the Assisted Living units is
provided from the main Senior Village entry and elevators to the upper floors.
Third Floor Plan
»The third floor of the parking structure provides direct access to the Independent Living residential
area. The third floor of the parking structure is open to the sky.
»Independent Living residences surrounding, and to the north of the structure, take access from an
interior hallway corridor and open out to the exterior of the building with balconies. Residences
on the interior also take access from an interior hallway corridor and opens out to a courtyard with
balconies.
»Independent Living residences extend from the parking structure south across the entire third
floor.
»Multiple common area facilities are scattered across the third floor including multi-purpose room,
theatre, reading room, and game room.
Fourth Floor Plan
»Independent Living residences extend along the east side of the building and around the east side
of the center courtyard, located north of the parking structure. A small cluster of Independent
Living residences occurs on the west side of the parking structure.
»Just north of the parking structure is an outdoor patio that provides a gathering area and location
for a roof top bar/outdoor patio.

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 29
The Specific Plan area is located outside of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ), therefore,
the threat from wildfire is minimal and no fuel modification is required. However, given the size of the
structure and age of occupants, fire safety measures provide a key component to building design. The
closest Fire Station is the Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 32 located at 605 North Angeleno
Avenue approximately 1.0-mile from the Specific Plan area. A Fire Master Plan has been prepared and
approved by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, which is under contract with the City of Azusa to
provide fire services. The Fire Master Plan is shown in Figure 17. Key components of the Fire Master Plan
include the following:
»Fire access along the south and east sides of the structure. The minimum fire access road is 28 feet
wide, without encroachments or obstructions. The Fire Master Plan demonstrates the setback of
the fire access road is sufficient for aerial ladder truck access to the roof.
»Fire access turn-around is provided on the east side of the structure by a hammerhead that complies
with Fire Department design standards.
»All perimeter exterior walls can be reached within 150 feet of a fire truck parked either on the
adjacent streets or fire access road.
»Access to the interior courtyard with the outdoor pool is provided by two fire access walkways, one
from the Todd Avenue and one from Sierra Madre Avenue. The fire access walkway is crossed with
a bridge made of non-combustible materials for second and third floor resident access.
»Two standpipes with hose racks are located at the entry to the courtyard. The standpipes and
hose racks provide access to all parts of the interior courtyard to satisfy the 150-foot hose length
requirement.
»Ladder pads around the exterior, which consist of landing pads of competent ground surface and
limited vegetation, facilitate placement of ladders to upper stories.
»Fire hydrants surrounding the property provide sufficient fire flow.
»All vehicular and pedestrian gates will be locked, but include override technology, such as knox
technology. Residents will have key card/fob access to locked gates.
»All portions of the structure, per code requirements, are equipped with fire sprinklers.

In the event of loss of normal power to the gate operating mechanism, it shall be automatically
transferred to a fail-safe mode allowing the gate to be pushed open by a single firefighter without any
other actions, knowledge, or manipulation of the operating mechanism being necessary and without
the use of battery back-up power ; this shall be noted on the plan. The manufacturer's specification
sheet demonstrating compliance with this method of operation during power loss shall be provided or
scanned directly onto the plan. Should the gate be too large or heavy for a single firefighter to open
manually, a secondary source of reliable power by means of an emergency generator or a capacitor
with enough reserve to automatically, immediately, and completely open the gate upon loss of
primary power shall be provided for fail-open operation. A capacitor, but not a battery, may also be
used for fail-open operation where the gate operating mechanism does not have a fail-safe mode.
1) The gate control for electronic gates shall be operable by a Knox emergency override key switch (with
dust cover). The key switch shall be placed between 42” and 48” above the roadway surface at the
right side of the access gate within two feet of the edge of the roadway. The key switch shall be
readily visible and unobstructed from the fire lane leading to the gate. The key switch shall be clearly
labeled “FIRE DEPT.”
For electrically operated gates, the type of remote gate opening device that will be installed shall
be noted on the plan. The remote opening device is required in addition to the Knox key switch.
The remote opening systems currently available for use by LA County Fire are either optical or
radio-controlled. Optical systems work the same as the traffic signal preemption system by using
the emergency vehicle's strobe light to open the gate. The radio-controlled system opens the gate
when the emergency responder clicks the receiver on an 800 MHz radio.
3)Upon activation of the key switch, the gate shall open and remain open until returned to normal
operation by means of the key switch. Where a gate consists of two leaves, the key switch shall
open both simultaneously if operation of a single leaf on the ingress side does not provide for the
width, turning radii, or setbacks necessary for fire apparatus to navigate the vehicle entry point. Note
this requirement on the plan.
4)The key switch shall be labeled with a permanent red sign with not less than ½” contrasting letters
reading “FIRE DEPT” or with a “Knox” decal. Note this requirement on the plan.
5)Gate and Barrier Locks - Gate or barrier locks shall be reviewed and approved prior to their
installation on any new and/or existing access gate or barrier. Authorization/order forms for Knox
products may be obtained through LA County Fire; specify whether the order form is for a
vehicle/pedestrian gate or a building. Knox key switches and key boxes serving only vehicle gates
and not buildings shall be submastered for use by both the fire and police department.

Subject: California Grand Village Azusa Greens, Azusa, CAAlternate Materials and Methods for Fire Master Plan
Dear Sir(s):Firesafe Planning Solutions, been contract to complete a Fire Master Plan for the CaliforniaGrand Village Azusa Greens project in the City of Azusa, California. The project site islocated at the corner of West Sierra Madre Avenue & N. Todd Avenue. Due to the natureof the project and the existing development on either side of the project site, access withinthe normal standards is not possible. For this reason, the applicant would like to processthis plan using the exception to Fire Code Section 503.1.1. This AM&M letter is in supportof that request.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:The California Grand Village Specific Plan Area encompasses approximately 19.36 acresin the northwest corner of the City of. The project site is currently the Azusa Greens GolfCourse, specifically at the locations of golf holes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The proposed SeniorVillage is to be located on approximately 4.48 acres at the southeast corner of West SierraMadre Avenue and North Todd Avenue, in the area of golf holes 3 and 6. The remaining14.88 acres includes the portion of the golf course that includes the reconfiguration of holes4 and 5 and the addition of holes 3 and 6.
The project site is an approximately 700 feet by 300 foot parcel bounded by N. ToddAvenue to the west, W. Sierra Madre Avenue to the north, commercial development to theeast and a golf course to the south. The project is a four story (Type V-A) building arounda four story parking garage with Type 1 construction. This building will be senior livingcenter with independent living and full care areas within the project site.
The Assessor's Parcel Number for the project site is 8617-001-005.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:The proposed project would involve the construction of a 256-unit luxury independent livingvillage for seniors (Senior Village) and the reconfiguration of two holes along the west edgeof the Azusa Greens Golf Course. The project would primarily attract independent seniorswho wish to live in a resort setting with concierge, dining, and housekeeping services aswell as programming and amenities. A limited amount of assisted living and memory carewould be provided.
Implementation of the proposed project would require the City approve (1) a General PlanAmendment, (2) a Zone Change, (3) a Specific Plan, and (4) a Tentative Parcel Map.
AM&M SPECIFIC INFORMATION:On behalf of the California Grand Village Azusa Greens, we hereby submit a request foruse of Alternate Materials and Methods (AM&M), per the 2016 California Fire Code. Ourrequest relates to hose pull deficiencies.
The following information is being provided to assist in your evaluation of this proposedAM&M.
A. Project Information:Development type: Senior Living Apartments
B. Code Sections for which the modification is requested:2016 California Fire Code (as amended and adopted by the City of Azusa) Section104.9 - Alternative Materials and Methods.
Requests for approval to use an alternate material, assembly of materials,equipment, method of construction, method of installation of equipment or means ofprotection shall be made in writing to the fire marshal by the owner or the owner'sauthorized representative and shall be accompanied by a justification that issupported by evidence to substantiate any claim being made regarding the requestedalternative and its compliance with the intent of this code. The fire marshal mayrequire independent tests be performed by an approved testing organization in orderto substantiate the proposed alternative.Approval of a request for use of an alternative material, assembly of materials,equipment method of construction method of installation of equipment or means ofprotection made pursuant to these provisions shall be limited to the particular casecovered by the request and shall not be construed as establishing any precedent for
any future request.2016 California Fire Code Section 503.1.1 - Buildings and facilities.Approved fire apparatus access roads shall be provided for every facility, building orportion of a building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction.The fire apparatus access road shall comply with the requirements of this section andshall extend to within 150 feet (45 720 mm) of all portions of the facility and allportions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by anapproved route around the exterior of the building or facility.
Exception: The fire code official is authorized to increase the dimension of 150 feet{45 720 mm) where:
1) The building is equipped throughout with an approved auton1atic sprinklersystem installed in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, 903.3.1.2 or 903.3.1.3.
2) Fire apparatus access roads cannot be installed because of location onproperty, topography, waterways, nonnegotiable grades or other similarconditions, and an approved alternative means of fire protection is provided.
C. Hardship:The project hardship is due to the narrow width of the existing lot. Existingdevelopment on east and south prevent acquisition of additional areas for increaseaccess. The hose pull deficiencies to the most distant point of the building beyondthe 150' pull from the frontage street is 85' out of access from each of the hosepulldirections. The site is senior living residential project
D. Proposed Alternative Fire Protection Measures:Wet standpipe connections (connected to the building automatic fire sprinklersystem) will be installed at the end of each 150' hose pull reach to provide coverageof the exterior walls of the buildings where located beyond the area covered by the150' hose pull lengths. This will allow hose bundles to be used at this point forwardto complete the coverage of all areas of the building.
All exterior wet standpipe outlets will be in locations that facilitate their use (no morethan 18 inches from the pathway), unobstructed by landscape or other amenities andconspicuously marked with signage as approved by LA CO Fire. Standpipes may befree-standing or mounted on building. In all cases, the standpipe will be protectedfrom physical damage using appropriate barriers.
The AM&M proposal and acceptance letter shall be copied onto the architectural, alarm,sprinkler, and standpipe plans submitted to LACO Fire for review in addition to thearchitectural plans submitted to LACO Fire. The architect/developer shall be responsiblefor rectifying any errors or omissions arising from failure to provide these documents onthese submittals.
It is our belief that the proposed alternate fire protection methods and modificationsdeveloped both enhance and protect the building and more importantly provide additionalprotection for fire personnel and the public.
Approval of this alternate methods and materials request is contingent uponacceptance of the design and installation of the fire walls and other constructionfeatures by the Building Department. This AM&M letter will be included on thearchitectural plans submitted to both LACO Fire and City of Azusa as well as thesprinkler and alarm plans submitted to LACO Fire.
Firesafe Planning Solutions is available for additional input or clarification if needed inorder for the Los Angeles County Fire Department to evaluate this request and make adetermination. Please feel free to contact us at any of the numbers below.

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 31
4.4 Circulation Plan
Connectivity plays an important role in the livability of communities; in addition, it is crucial to maintain golf
course connectivity through the Specific Plan area. Therefore, connections should be designed internally, as
well as externally to surrounding land uses and amenities, in a safe and efficient manner. Furthermore, all
access routes should provide adequate room for emergency vehicles to maneuver.
The Specific Plan area is bound by two streets: on the north is Sierra Madre Avenue; on the west is Todd
Avenue. South of the southern portion of the Golf Course is 10th Street. Sierra Madre Avenue is a four-lane
divided roadway oriented in the east-west direction directly north of the Specific Plan area. Sierra Madre
Avenue has a 100-foot right-of-way, incorporating an 84-foot roadway. Todd Avenue is four-lane undivided
roadway oriented in the north-south direction directly west of the Specific Plan area. Todd Avenue has an
80-foot right-of-way, that includes a 58- to 64-foot roadway. South of the Specific Plan area, 10th Street is a
two-lane undivided roadway, orientated in the east-west direction with a 60-foot right-of-way, incorporating
a 40-foot curb to curb roadway width. These three streets provide adequate circulation and access to the
Specific Plan area. The Conceptual Circulation Plan and Typical Road Sections are shown in Figures 19 and
20.
4.4.1 Street Improvements
4.3 Grading Plan
The Specific Plan area appears generally level with a mild slope from north to south, however the grade must
be accommodated in the building design. The conceptual building design finished floor elevation is set at
639.5 feet above mean sea level (ASL). The highest point on the property is located in the northeast corner
adjacent to Sierra Madre Avenue. Existing grades along the east property line vary from 1.5 feet below to
4 feet above the proposed Senior Village grades requiring varying height retaining walls. Proposed grading
within the golf course immediately adjacent to the south property line results in a trivial amount of grade
difference to the proposed project and, therefore, requires no special retaining designs for the planned
fence/wall. The north end of the Senior Village site is in cut and the south end is in fill. The earthwork is
planned to be balanced within the Senior Village site and geotechnical remediation is anticipated to require
5 to 7 feet of over-excavation and removal of large boulders and rocks. The large boulders and rocks, plus
the existing vegetation and organic matter, would be hauled off-site as part of site preparation efforts.
Figure 18 shows the proposed conceptual grading plan of the Senior Village.
The Specific Plan area currently drains to the southwest in a “sheet-flow” condition, with no defined drainages
or watercourses or underground storm drain facilities. Storm flows cross over the existing curb and flow in
Todd Avenue south off-site. Development of the Specific Plan area will maintain a similar drainage pattern.
Underground storage chambers, located under the main entry, will collect stormwater and use infiltration
and treatment to meet water quality requirements, as well as provide some detention to ensure the peak
runoff in the developed condition does not exceed pre-development levels. Runoff in excess of what the
chambers can collect will outlet overland to Todd Avenue curb as it does in the pre-developed condition.

The following roadway improvements shall be made in conjunction with implementation of the Specific
Plan:
Sierra Madre Avenue
»Repair / replace curb and gutter, as necessary
»Construct a new curb-adjacent 6-foot wide sidewalk along the Sierra Madre Avenue frontage with
street trees within the right-of-way spaced 30 feet on center
»Construct a new disabled-compatible access ramp and landing pad for the crossing of Sierra Madre
Avenue east of the intersection with Todd Avenue
Todd Avenue
»Replace curb and gutter
»Sign or paint the curb from Sierra Madre Avenue to 10th Street for “no parking”
»Re-stripe to Todd Avenue to provide 12-foot wide center turn lane, two 11-foot interior through
lanes, and two 14-foot curb lanes
»Construct a 6-foot wide sidewalk adjacent to Todd Avenue from Sierra Madre Avenue to 10th
Street in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. A 9-foot wide golf
cart path is provided outside of right-of-way and described in Section 4.4.3 Pedestrian and Golf
Cart Circulation.
»Provide curb-cut driveways at the main entrance and the secondary emergency and delivery to the
Senior Village
»Provide removable bollards placed at the entries to the sidewalk to prevent golf carts from using
the sidewalk, while maintaining ADA accessibility on the sidewalk
The Circulation system has been designed to meet the traffic demand while conforming to the landform
constraints and City policies.
Vehicle access to the Senior Village occurs in two areas off Todd Avenue. A central entry opens into a circular
drop off area with a porte-cochère, which provides access to the main Independent Living entry; to a less
prominent entry for Assisted Living and Memory Care; and to the parking structure. The circular drop-
off area also accommodates valet parking service for residents and guests. The main entry is not gated,
however, access to the parking structure is controlled by a gate.
A secondary emergency and delivery access occurs from Todd Avenue along the southern boundary of the
Senior Village. This access is gated. The secondary access drive serves as a fire lane, ending in a hammerhead
turnaround on the east side of the Senior Village. The 28-foot width and setback from the structures

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 36
Pedestrian circulation is provided both external and internal to the Senior Village. While the Specific Plan
area is not adjacent to existing regional trails, a multi-purpose trail (walking and bicycling) located north of
Sierra Madre Avenue at the intersection with Todd Avenue connects to the San Gabriel River trail, which is
a mountain to sea trail system.
Additionally, the location of the Senior Village requires an easement to allow golf carts to pass through the
Specific Plan area to connect golf course holes 2 and 7 north of Sierra Madre Avenue with golf course holes
3 – 6 south of the Specific Plan area.
The following components comprise the pedestrian and golf cart network as shown on Figure 21 Pedestrian
and Golf Cart Circulation Plan.
1. A new 6-foot-wide curb adjacent sidewalk within the right-of-way along Sierra Madre Avenue
extends from Todd Avenue to the eastern Specific Plan boundary. Street trees spaced every 30 feet
will be planted adjacent to the sidewalk.
2. A new 6-foot-wide curb adjacent sidewalk within the right-of-way along Todd Avenue extends
from Sierra Madre Avenue to 10th Street, which is beyond the Specific Plan boundary. Street trees
spaced every 30 feet will be planted adjacent to the sidewalk.
3. Removable bollards and signage at the sidewalk entrances along Todd Avenue to avoid golf cart use
of the sidewalk.
4. Internal walkways within the Senior Village with gated pedestrian access to Sierra Madre Avenue
on the north east side of the property.
5. A new 9-foot-wide golf cart path accommodating two-way traffic, located outside of right-of-way
and separated from the sidewalk by a vegetated fence, provides a connection from Sierra Madre
Avenue to the golf course holes located south of the Specific Plan area.
6. Cart path crossing at Sierra Madre Avenue to connect holes 2 and 7 north of Sierra Madre Avenue
with holes 3, 4, 5, and 6 located south of the Senior Village.
4.4.3 Pedestrian and Golf Cart Circulation
accommodates ladder trucks serving buildings over 30-feet tall. The secondary access drive would also
accommodate trash trucks and delivery service for food, linens, etc.
The secondary access drive is gated and managed by the on-site management and security staff. Management/
Security staff would open the gate when trash or delivery trucks arrive. Over 53 feet of distance between
the gate and curb provides sufficient stacking distance to avoid having trucks disrupt through traffic on Todd
Avenue. A knox box or equivalent rapid entry system would be provided for emergency vehicle access. This
secondary access is not intended to serve residents or guests and will be signed accordingly.

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 38
The main entry to the Senior Village opens into a circular drop off area, which provides access to the primary
pedestrian entries for both the Independent Living, as well as the Assisted Livingand Memory Care. The
main entry also provides access to valet parking for guests and residents, as well as the gated parking
structure. The multi-level parking structure is completely surrounded by residential suites or other Senior
Village uses and not visible to the street. Three levels of covered and one partial level of uncovered parking
are provided. Both elevator and direct access to the residential floors are available from each level of the
parking structure.
A total of 253 parking spaces are provided, of which 12 are specified for handicap and 3 for van spaces. Of
the parking provided, 37 spaces are tandem spaces, which will be used by either valet parking for guests/
residents or by residents who opt to rent an additional parking space. All but three spaces are provided
in the parking structure. The remaining three parking spaces, one handicap and two general parking are
provided as surface parking stalls along the main entry drive.
The Senior Village Operator will assign resident parking spaces based on the size and location of the residence.
Residents will also have the option to use valet parking service in addition to self-parking in assigned spaces.
All guest parking will be provided by valet service. Valet service drop off would occur at the main entry and
guest cars would be valet parked in the parking structure. The Operator will also assign employee parking
within the parking structure.
The parking structure provides sufficient parking for residents, staff, and guests. The parking study prepared
by Linscott, Law, and Greenspan documents that the 253 parking spaces provide more than sufficient parking
for the Senior Village. The parking study is found in Appendix B.
All access outside pedestrian access and vehicular access into the parking structure would occur through
transponder or other key card access. All outside access points will have override technology, such as Knox,
for first responders.
4.4.4 Parking Plan
7. All sidewalks and internal walkways shall meet ADA standards for width, gradient, and intersection
crossings.
8. An existing Class II Bicycle lane occurs on Sierra Madre Avenue.
9. A minimum of ten bicycle parking spaces located in the parking structure, outside of a designated
parking stall on the first level.

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 39
Lighting of the Senior Village shall carry a unified theme throughout the common areas and buildings. A
hierarchy of light fixture heights and sizes within the Senior Village shall be incorporated into the design
plans and the overall unified style of the lighting should fade into the background while being consistent
with the architecture as a whole. All common area lightning must be in compliance with all local code
requirements. Up-lighting is encouraged for trees and other landscape elements, building facades, and
architectural features. No beacon lighting will be used. All light sources should be directed away from or
shielded from surrounding business, residences, and roadways. Security lighting shall be incorporated into
the overall lighting plan.
4.5.2 Lighting Plan
4.5 Signage and Lighting Plan
Signage for the Senior Village will occur at the corner of Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue, and on
both sides of the primary entry to the Senior Village off Todd Avenue. Signage at the main Senior Village
entry will be incorporated into an entry monument located on either side of the main entry drive aisle,
that complement the architectural style of the main structure and do not obstruct sight lines exiting on to
Todd Avenue. Signage at the corner of Todd Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue will occur in a stand-alone
monument sign consisting of natural materials to the extent possible and a color palette consistent with the
main structure, or of complementary natural materials. Wall signage, other than a numerical address, is not
permitted. Signage shall utilize up-lighting only. Internal lighting is not permitted. The final location of the
monument signs may be adjusted, provided the signs clearly identify the name and address of the Senior
Village and do not block or inhibit line of sight at corners or driveways.
A final Master Sign Plan shall be prepared consistent with the provisions in this Specific Plan and submitted
to the City for review and approval prior to construction. Monument and entry signage locations are shown
on the conceptual landscape plan (Figure 22).

SECTION 4 – DEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 41
4.6 Wall Plan
Fences and walls are planned along the eastern and southern property lines (Figure 23). Along the eastern
property line, between Sierra Madre Avenue right-of-way and the Senior Village building, an 8-foot-high
wrought iron fence would be planted with Bougainvillea or other vines.
Beginning at the Senior Village building, a block wall would step up to a maximum height of 15 feet along
the remainder of the eastern property line. The eastern side of the wall would have an exposed elevation
of approximately 13 feet and include a ribbed texture surface to discourage graffiti. The Senior Village side
of the wall would be planted with a creeping vine, such as ficus pumila vine or similar species, to cover the
wall in evergreen vegetation.
The length of the southern boundary has an 8-foot-high wrought iron fence. The fence would be planted
with Bougainvillea or other deterrent vine designed to aesthetically cover the fence and provide security.
In the middle of the southern fence line, a 8-foot-high wrought iron emergency gate would be provided
allowing for access out to the golf course to the south. The gate would remain locked but have panic exit
hardware on the Senior Village side.
First floor patios along Todd Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue are fenced with 42-inch-high wrought iron
railing to provide open definition of the patio space with some measure of security. The patio fencing is
landscaped with a trumpet vine for color and scent.

44California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan
The architecture of the Senior Village is patterned after the Spanish Colonial Revival style, also commonly
known as the Santa Barbara architectural style. However, instead of in an all-white color, the buildings
have complementary color shading to create visual articulation and interest. The architectural intent is to
create a Senior Village that feels like separate residences, but happens to be structurally attached; thus,
providing the residents with community living while maintaining independence. This goal is achieved
through architectural differentiation, human-scale elements, use of color, and complementary architecture.
The following architecture elements provide the architecture style, also depicted in the building elevations
(Figures 24 through 26).
Design Features
»Wood balconies with metal rails
»Heavy exposed wood elements at the balconies with wood corbels
»Exposed wood outlookers and eave corbels at selected roof elements
»Rock or natural stone skirt at the base of the exterior wall
»Metal rails for Juliet balconies
Roofs
»Shallow 5:12 pitched roofs
»Simple, hip, gable, and shed forms
»Flat concrete tile Section5DESIGN GUIDELINES
5.1 Architectural Style
The following design guidelines provide guidance on the architectural style, massing, and landscaping. Final
Design Review plans shall be in substantial conformance with the direction provided in this section.

SECTION 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 49
The Senior Village includes a variety of outdoor spaces, such as walking paths, benches, gardens, a dog park,
and passive landscaped areas for residents and guests to enjoy. Outdoor spaces, strategically located in the
interior and the eastern portion of the site, provide a sense of privacy and security.
The conceptual Landscape Plan (Figure 22) incorporates a variety of plant species to vary height, texture, and
color, while minimizing water demand. An arborist assessed the trees on the golf course and determined
that none of the trees were candidates for relocation.
The circular entry includes a place in the middle for a specimen tree to provide iconic component of the
entry. A conceptual plant palette is included as Figure 27.
The remainder of the plant palette consists of a variety of shrubs and grasses that introduce a range of colors
and textures. The plant palette considers water use and meets the City’s landscape ordinance found in Azusa
Municipal Code Chapter 88.34 for water conservation. Very little turf grass is included in the plant palette,
except for one area located east of the Senior Village building, which includes a dog park and walking path.
The block wall located along the eastern property boundary is designed with a ribbed texture surface on the
east side of the wall to discourage graffiti and planted on the west side of the wall with a creeping vine, such
as ficus pumila vine or similar species, to cover the wall in evergreen vegetation.
The 8-foot-high wrought iron fence along the southern boundary includes Bougainvillea or other deterrent
vine planted on both sides to aesthetically cover the fence and provide security.
5.3 Landscape Plan
Massing and scale are fundamental principles that ensure individual elevation elements relate to one
another in a balanced and aesthetically pleasing way. Outdoor uses, such as individual patios and balconies,
or common area patios and gardens provide building separation, soften massing, increase articulation to
the structure, and reduce the scale of the structure to the human level. Architectural elements will be
incorporated to differentiate building massing and provide articulation on the building elevations visible
from public right-of-way. Architectural enhancements to be used to help soften massing and scale of the
structure, include:
»Window enhancement using shutters and window trim
»Balconies and patios
»Juliet balconies with metal railing
»Color and material enhancement where architectural style permits

SECTION 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 50
The outdoor open space on the east side of the Senior Village is designed to accommodate a dog park and
outdoor play areas that could include horseshoe pits and/or putting greens. The open space also includes
walking paths connecting to Sierra Madre Avenue and landscape areas that provide shaded places for sitting
and socializing. The open space also provides places that could include cutting or vegetable gardens.
Adjacent to the Memory Care is an interior garden that is designed for quiet reflection and outdoor sitting.
The planting areas include a wide range of species to provide a range of colors, textures, and scents. Shade
and scaled planting are integral to the design. Hardscape, benches, and gathering areas create an attractive
place for residents and guests to find solace.
The interior pool courtyard is dominated by hardscape, creating patios, outdoor fireplaces, shade structures,
and gathering areas near the pool. Planting consists of raised planters and containers. Patio trees, shrubs,
and annuals provide color and interest to the patio areas.
Similarly, the outdoor roof deck/patio consists of planter boxes and containers for plant material. Comfortable
chairs with cushions and pillows, shade, and a wine bar create an outdoor gathering area with views of the
San Gabriel Mountains.
The use of decorative hardscape differentiates areas within the Senior Village. Decorative hardscape can
differentiate special areas, such as the circular entry to provide an inviting and luxurious entry, as well as
areas of pedestrian access, which are highlighted to distinguish the path of travel and for safety.
Entry and monument signage should complement the architectural themes of the main structure. Entry
and monument signs will use natural materials as accents. Signage should be affixed to the front of the
monument walls and accented with up lighting. Internal lighting shall not be permitted. Accent landscaping
should complement and enhance the walls.
Three signs identifying the Senior Village will occur -- one at the corner of Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd
Avenue, and two signs, one on either side of the main Todd Avenue entry.
5.4 Entries and Monuments
Azusa Municipal Code Section 88.39 requires developments of the size of the Senior Village to incorporate
public art into the project design. The Senior Village accommodates this requirement by payment of the
in-lieu fee.

57California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan
This section of the Specific Plan provides an overview and framework for the future infrastructure and
improvements required to serve the various land uses permitted under the implementation of the Specific
Plan. Section7INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
The water service to the Specific Plan area is served by Azusa Light and Water Department. Azusa Light and
Water is a municipal utility owned and operated by the City of Azusa that provides water to residents of
Azusa. Azusa Light and Water obtains water from the Main San Gabriel Basin through pumping and surface
diversion. Local water sources are supplemented by water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District.
Currently, water is provided to the site through existing 12-inch pipes located in Sierra Madre Avenue and
Todd Avenue. No reclaimed water is available within the City of Azusa.
The Specific Plan area water system consists of a loop system with connections to both existing 12-inch
water lines in Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue. The proposed connections and loop system are
shown in Figure 28. The water system and connections will be designed to City standards.
7.1 Water System Management
A Water System Hydraulic Analysis, dated January 2018 prepared by ProActive Engineering Consultants
analyzed available water to the Specific Plan area. A 12-inch water line exists in Todd Avenue the entire
length of the Specific Plan area. This 12-inch line has sufficient capacity and pressure to serve the
Specific Plan area. Domestic and irrigation service will connect to the 12-inch water main with 2-inch
service lines.
Los Angeles County Fire Department requires fire flow of 4,000 gallons per minute (gpm) at 20
pressure per square inch (psi). Two fire hydrants exist along Todd Avenue and three additional
hydrants will be added within the Specific Plan area. A hydrant flow test was conducted, which
yielded a 65-psi residual pressure for the surrounding fire hydrant system. Converted to 20
psi, the flow would yield an estimated fire flow availability of 8,425 gallons per minute, well
above the Fire Department standards. As a result, fire flow service will be provided by an
8-inch looped private fire flow water line, with connections at Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd
Avenue, which would be sufficient to serve the Specific Plan area.

SECTION 7 – INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 59
The Specific Plan area is located within the jurisdiction of the City of Azusa and the County Sanitation District
of Los Angeles, District 22. Azusa Light and Water owns and maintains a network of sewer mains connecting
to County Sanitation District of Los Angeles, District 22 trunk lines, which conveys flows to the San Jose
Creek Reclamation Plant located in the City of Industry and the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant located
in the City of Carson. Wastewater generated from the Specific Plan area and surrounding area is currently
collected and conveyed through an existing 8-inch sewer line that runs east/west, just south of the RainBird
property, where it connects to an existing 12-inch sewer line in Todd Avenue. To service the Senior Village,
a new 8-inch sewer line will be extended north in Todd Avenue to a connection that occurs at the main
entrance of the Senior Village.
The Specific Plan area sewer system connections are shown on Figure 29.
7.2 Sewer System Improvements
The Specific Plan area will change storm runoff. Existing underground storm drain facilities do not occur
on or adjacent to the Senior Village. Existing runoff sheet flows to the surrounding street curb and gutter.
Runoff is collected in Todd Avenue and carried south, past 10th Street, where it flows easterly into the
railroad right-of-way. Ultimately, the runoff reaches the San Gabriel River.
Since underground storm drain facilities are absent from the site and absent from the adjacent site, the
Senior Village’s collected stormwater needs to be surface discharged through the curb into Todd Avenue to
mimic the existing condition. To treat the “first flush” and meet MS-4 water quality requirements, all on-
site storm water will be conveyed through on-site graded surface swales and an on-site storm drain system
to an underground chamber system. Low flows held in the underground chambers will either 1) infiltrate
into the groundwater basin through infiltration wells or 2) flow through a modular wetland and release at
the surface in the same general vicinity as existing flows. Larger storm flows will be held in the subsurface
chambers until completely full, at which point storm flows spill out onto Todd Avenue through a parkway
culvert, where flows would follow existing drainage patterns. Storm drain facilities are identified on Figure
30.

SECTION 7 – INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | 62
7.4 Solid Waste
The City contracts with waste hauler, Athens provide weekly residential, commercial, and mixed recycling
collection services. The waste is taken to the Athens’ Material Recovery Facility located in the City of Industry
for sorting and recycling.
7.4.1 Municipal Waste Collection
The primary landfill serving Azusa is the Mid-Valley Landfill in Rialto. A secondary landfill that can serve
Azusa is the Azusa Land Reclamation County Landfill, located off Gladstone Street in Azusa. Both landfills
are permitted as Class III landfills, which accept only nonhazardous municipal solid waste for disposal. They
have sufficient capacity to accept waste from the Specific Plan area. Hazardous and medical waste shall be
disposed of properly, in accordance with state and local regulations. One option for hazardous and medical
waste disposal is Hazardous Waste Management Company, located at 100 South Irwindale Avenue in Azusa.
7.4.2 Solid Waste Disposal Sites
Since the Specific Plan area is comprised of new construction, the most current building efficiency standards
and requirements will be required to be implemented. Development within the Specific Plan area is required
to meet the current Title 24 Standards.
7.5 Energy Plan
Electricity and gas will be provided to the Specific Plan area by Azusa Light and Water and The Gas Company,
respectively. Existing above ground electric facilities are located along Todd Avenue. The above ground
facilities are located on the east (golf course) side of Todd Avenue to a point approximately equal to the
southern extent of the RainBird building, at which point the above ground electrical lines cross Todd Avenue
to the west side and continue north to Sierra Madre Avenue. The Senior Village does not interfere with the
above ground electrical lines. Underground electric lines are also located within Sierra Madre Avenue. The
Senior Village will connect to existing electrical facilities in either Todd Avenue or Sierra Madre Avenue, or
both, with underground service. Natural gas is also available in both Todd Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue
and the Senior Village will make underground connections at either one or both locations.
To provide electrical service to the Senior Village, an additional underground electrical circuit must be
installed from the existing sub-station on North Angelino Avenue.

63California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan
The Specific Plan is a long-term plan providing direction for new development in the Specific Plan area.
The underlying direction for implementation comes from the primary goal of the Specific Plan, which is
the creation of a Senior Village to provide age restricted housing in the City of Azusa consistent with the
Residential Care Facility for the Elderly definition and licensing requirements.
8.1 Land Use RegulationsSection8IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The framework for the implementation of the Specific Plan Area includes:
»Land Use Regulations
»Phasing Plan
»Finance Plan
»Delivery Plan
The Phasing Plan provides an estimation of how future construction would be conducted. The Phasing Plan
is only a forecast, since actual development and time durations can be influenced by many factors, including
the economy and market strength, weather, unforeseen construction conditions, material supplies, etc. At
this time, implementation of the proposed Project begins with site preparation and grading. A temporary
golf cart pathway along Todd Avenue would be established to route golfers around the site to not
interrupt golf play. Site preparation, grading, retaining walls, and underground utilities for the Senior
Village would occur in one phase. Vertical construction of the entire structure would occur in one
phase, including construction of the parking structure and all necessary infrastructure. The following
are estimated durations of construction:
»Phase 1 - Site preparation, grading, retaining walls, and underground utilities – 3 months
»Phase 2 - Vertical construction of the Senior Village, including parking structure, and all
infrastructure – 15 months
»Phase 3 -Landscaping, signage, and fences – 3 months

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 1
Land Use Goal 1
Provide for a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreation, public and open
space meeting the needs of existing and future residents and businesses.
Policy 1.2
Establish land use designations and appropriate density standards and development standards to:
• ensure a balance of land uses; and
• enhance the City’s long-term economic and fiscal well-being, including housing units of all types and
prices; retail and commercial uses; employment generating industrial businesses; recreational facilities;
governmental services; utilities and infrastructure; institutional and religious; and open space as defined
in Land Use Diagram Classification, Table CD-2, and shown on the Regulating Plan, Figure CD-3 and
Land Use Diagram, Figure CD-4. (LU1, LU2, and LU24)
The City of Azusa General Plan encourages the development of Senior Housing. Specifically, Housing Element
Policy 3.7 states; “Support the provision of high-quality rental housing for large families, students and senior
households.” Housing Element Policy 3.8 further states, “Provide incentives to facilitate the development
of senior housing options.” While goals and policies encourage the development of senior housing, finding
suitable locations can be a challenge, especially for full-service facilities.
Residential zoned properties tend to be economically infeasible for senior housing. Development in a
residential zone that allows multi-family uses can generate greater returns from for-sale condominiums/
townhomes or market-rate apartment projects. This is evidenced by the proliferation of both types of
developments throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. However, the high operational costs associated
with full-service senior housing, coupled with a market cap on what seniors can pay for housing, eliminates
most multi-family sites from economic consideration for senior housing. The result is a combination of a lack
of new senior housing and senior housing being located in non-residential zones.
Unlike market rate housing, senior housing is uniquely qualified for location in non-residential zones. First,
the structures, like hotels or office buildings, can be constructed with sufficient insulation to withstand
noisier environments, such as adjacent to freeways or very busy arterial roadways.
Second, senior housing complexes tend to live inward, toward interior spaces sheltered from surrounding
land uses. This design provides security and privacy for residents, while also further insulating residents from
surrounding land uses. Third, most senior communities are “for rent” as opposed to “for sale” therefore
residents generally don’t try to protect their real estate asset like they would if they owned the property.
Lastly, the unfortunate reality is the length of stay at senior communities is less than a typical homeowner
in a residential neighborhood.
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan includes a change in land use, specifically the
inclusion of a Senior Village in an area surrounded by a mix of residential and non-residential land uses. That
change has a potential effect on existing surrounding land uses. One objective of the California Grand Village
Azusa Greens Specific Plan is to, integrate well with surrounding land uses, with controls established to allow
existing and future land uses to operate consistent with their approvals and under City rules and regulations
without fear of objection from future tenants. The following design elements have been incorporated to
achieve that objective.

• The majority of the Independent Living residences are located in the northern portion of the property,
across from existing residential. Only 12 Independent Living residences are located on the south perimeter of
the property. The remaining residences along the south perimeter are Assisted Living and Memory Support,
which have shorter stays and a more controlled environment for patients.
• Common outdoor space is oriented inward rather than out to the adjacent streets. This design provides
a physical buffer from surrounding land uses. The outdoor pool, spa, and deck are located in the northern
portion of the property surrounded by residences. The outdoor dining and activity area are located on
the east side of the property. The outdoor garden space for the Assisted Living and Memory Care is also
surrounded by residences to provide buffer from adjacent land uses.
• The eastern property boundary is designed with a block wall up to 15 feet tall and heavy landscaping to
provide screening and to create a lush landscaped amenity.
• Windows will be a minimum dual glazed to ensure maximize noise dampening and walls will be fully
insulated to ensure quiet interiors. The property will be designed to provide quieter interiors in far noisier
environments than this location, such as near a freeway.
• All residences and suites are fully climate controlled to eliminate concerns about odor or pollution from
surrounding light industrial uses and roadways. The location of outdoor spaces in protected courtyards and
other protected areas of the property further minimizes concerns about the effects of odor or pollution on
outdoor activity areas.
• The residents of California Grand Village Azusa Greens will rent their residences. This is not a “for-sale”
property. As such, if a tenant finds the environs not suitable to their liking, they can move to an alternate
location.
• California Grand Village Azusa Greens are staffed with on-site management 24-hours a day, seven days
a week by a professional management company similar to how a luxury resort is operated. Through the
lease process, tenants will be directed to present complaints to on-site management, who have the training
and experience to deal with all kinds of situations. The on-site managers will be given the tools they need
to resolve the complaint. For example, a complaint about noise can be resolved by moving the tenant to a
different suite or allowing the tenant to break their lease.
A Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) has been prepared to determine the economic effect of the project on the City.
The FIA calculates the projected revenues the City would receive from sources such as property tax – secured,
property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees, utility user tax, franchise fees, and indirect sales tax capture would
exceed the costs placed on the City, such as City administration, police, and fire by approximately $210,000
annually.
While the proposed project provides a fiscal benefit to the City, the proposal provides an even larger benefit
to the region in terms of overall economic benefit. When considering construction labor, construction
materials, furnishings, and operation of the facility, the overall economic benefit to the region is slightly over
$90 million.
Lastly, the Senior Village would provide approximately 90 full-time equivalent jobs to the City.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 3
Land Use Goal 2
Azusa is a renewed community of beautiful homes and stable neighborhoods providing a safe environment,
green space, and a broad community life.
The Specific Plan has an elevated level of architectural guidelines to ensure authentic architecture compatible
with the styles often seen in Azusa. The architecture is designed to blend with other architectural styles in
Azusa
Policy 2.1
Establish Azusa as a “community of neighborhoods”. Using a scale of a five-minute walk, each interconnected
neighborhood will develop its own unique character, but all neighborhoods will share common elements:
• a “neighborhood center” that provides a place for neighbors to gather. The center can be located in the
middle of the neighborhood or at its edge. The center might include a school, a park, a neighborhood
store, or perhaps, all three;
• high-quality new and renovated homes available to a broad range of buyers;
• single family homes will be the predominate type of housing within the neighborhood, but a mix of other
housing types will be permitted if they currently exist or if they are compatible in scale and character as
the surrounding neighborhood. (LU1, LU3, LU6 and LU9)
The Senior Village is a unique land use in that it creates a “neighborhood” for its senior residents. The
Senior Village includes high quality housing in a variety of sizes, walking trails and outdoor spaces; recreation
facilities such as pool, exercise room, movie theater, and game rooms; services such as transportation,
concierge, dining, bistro, salon, and spa; and gathering areas, such as the gardens and roof top patio, all of
which are elements of a more traditional neighborhood, which happen to be contained in one senior village.
Yet, the Senior Village also provides transportation services to facilitate visits from its residents to local
shopping, dining, church, library, medical, etc.
Policy 2.3
Establish neighborhood associations and organizations to create neighborhood improvement strategies and
foster neighborhood social and safety events. (LU15)
The Senior Village would be managed by a full-time on-site management company, which includes on-
site security. Management is also responsible for organizing, promoting, and implementing on-site social
activities. Furthermore, management includes a concierge to organize events off-campus or transportation
around town.
Policy 2.5
Enhance neighborhoods by adding traditional elements such as pedestrian oriented, street lighting, street trees,
landscaped parkways, traffic calming measures, and neighborhood centers. (LU1, LU3, LU13, LU14, LU16, and
LU18)
The Senior Village provides new sidewalks along Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue to facilitate pedestrian
circulation. The sidewalk along Todd Avenue is separated from a parallel golf cart path by landscaping and a
four-foot-high mesh fence with landscaping. Several of the architectural design guidelines include providing
human-scale architecture, which is accomplished through a variety of materials, building articulation, and
landscaping at the ground level.

Policy 2.9
Require both single family residential and multifamily units and sites be designed to convey a high level of quality
and character, and reflect and complement surrounding neighborhood character. This includes, but not limited
to:
Single Family and Multifamily
• using “living space forward” design concepts;
• modulation and building elevation articulation and masses (avoiding undifferentiated “boxlike
structures”);
• incorporating well-defined roof lines;
• using extensive site landscape to complement the architectural design of
• the structure; and
• minimizing the amount and width of paving in front and side yards for driveway and garage access.
Multifamily
• conveying the visual character of individual units rather than a singular building mass and volume for
multifamily structures;
• including separate, well-defined entries for each residential unit;
• locate the first occupiable floor at or near the predominate grade elevation, ensure subterranean
parking facilities are not visible from the street frontage; and
• siting and design of parking areas and facilities to be integrated with and not dominate the architectural
character of the structure. (LU1, LU2, LU6 and LU9)
While not designed as a traditional multifamily structure, the Senior Village incorporates many of the design
elements specified in this Policy. Design guidelines encourage the use of materials and articulation to convey
the individual character of units rather than a mass of a building. While separate entries to each residential
suite would not occur from outside, the Senior Village is designed with a grand entry that provides an inviting
entry that displays the quality, character, and safety of the community. The parking structure is located to the
interior, wrapped by residences, which conceals the parking structure from surrounding streets and provides
safe access.
Policy 2.11
Require the design of new residential developments to include the following:
• greenbelts, sidewalks, landscaped parkways, parks, recreation amenities, and other community
amenities;
• minimizing the width of streets to encourage pedestrian activity and to slow traffic, as appropriate;
• potentially, include well designed and lighted alleys to minimize the dominance of garages along street
frontage;
• siting of development to avoid disturbances of sensitive areas and maintain important environmental
resources, including topographical formations and habitat; and
• accommodate the development of recreational, community meeting, educational, and day care facilities
in all residential areas, provided that they are compatible with the intended residential function and
character of the neighborhood, and subject to City review and approval. (LU1, LU2, LU6, LU8, LU9, and
UF4)
The Senior Village functions as a self-contained residential neighborhood. As such, the Senior Village includes
the elements suggested in this policy as follows:

• Greenbelts are provided along the east side of the Senior Village with a dog park, meditation garden, and
walking path.
• Sidewalks are provided along Todd Avenue and Tenth Street, separated and protected from the golf cart
path where necessary to promote safe pedestrian travel.
• A street tree program along Todd Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue is being provided.
• Recreation and community amenities include as meals in a gourmet restaurant, deli, housekeeping,
concierge, security, high-tech movie theater, computer café, art studio, salon, pool and spa, gym/
fitness rooms, transportation, and numerous programmed activities and outings. The Senior Village is
designed to provide a healthy lifestyle by encouraging its residents to use common open space instead of
remaining in private residences. In total, the open space for Independent Living represents an average of
272 square feet per residence. The average open space for Assisted Living/Memory Care, is 247 square
feet per residence.
Policy 2.12
Allow for the development of housing types intended to meet the special needs of senior citizens, the physically
challenged, and low and moderate income households provided that the units are designed to be compatible
with adjacent residential structures. (LU1, LU2, and LU3)
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan provides senior housing consistent with this Policy.
The Senior Village, restricted to those age 62 and older, provides a full-service housing experience, with
safe and spacious residences and amenities such as meals in a gourmet restaurant, deli, housekeeping,
concierge, security, high-tech movie theater, computer café, art studio, salon, pool and spa, gym/fitness
rooms, transportation, and numerous programmed activities and outings. The Senior Village also provides
additional care for those seniors who need more assistance in Assisted Living and Memory Care.
The Senior Village is not located adjacent residential structures, however it is compatible with adjacent land
uses, consistent with this Policy. Residential zoned properties tend to be economically infeasible for senior
housing. Development in a residential zone that allows multi-family uses can generate greater returns from
for-sale condominiums/townhomes or market-rate apartment projects. This is evidenced by the proliferation
of both types of developments throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. However, the high operational
costs associated with full-service senior housing, coupled with a market cap on what seniors can pay for
housing, eliminates most multi-family sites from economic consideration for senior housing. The result is a
combination of a lack of new senior housing and senior housing being located in non-residential zones.
Unlike market rate housing, senior housing is uniquely qualified for location in non-residential zones. First,
the structures, like hotels or office buildings, can be constructed with sufficient insulation to withstand
noisier environments, such as adjacent to freeways or very busy arterial roadways.
Second, senior housing complexes tend to live inward, toward interior spaces sheltered from surrounding
land uses. This design provides security and privacy for residents, while also further insulating residents from
surrounding land uses. Third, most senior communities are “for rent” as opposed to “for sale” therefore
residents generally don’t try to protect their real estate asset like they would if they owned the property.
Lastly, the unfortunate reality is the length of stay at senior communities is less than a typical homeowner
in a residential neighborhood.
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan includes a change in land use, specifically the
inclusion of a Senior Village in an area surrounded by a mix of residential and non-residential land uses. That

change has a potential effect on existing surrounding land uses. One objective of the California Grand Village
Azusa Greens Specific Plan is to, integrate well with surrounding land uses, with controls established to allow
existing and future land uses to operate consistent with their approvals and under City rules and regulations
without fear of objection from future tenants. The following design elements have been incorporated to
achieve that objective.
• The majority of the Independent Living residences are located in the northern portion of the property,
across from existing residential. Only 12 Independent Living residences are located on the south
perimeter of the property. The remaining residences along the south perimeter are Assisted Living and
Memory Care, which have shorter stays and a more controlled environment for patients.
• Common outdoor space is oriented inward rather than out to the adjacent streets. This design provides a
physical buffer from surrounding land uses. The outdoor pool, spa, and deck are located in the northern
portion of the property surrounded by residences. The outdoor dining and activity area are located on
the east side of the property. The outdoor garden space for the Assisted Living and Memory Care is also
surrounded by residences to provide buffer from adjacent land uses.
• The eastern property boundary is designed with a block wall up to 15 feet tall and heavy landscaping to
provide screening and to create a lush landscaped amenity.
• Windows will be a minimum dual glazed to ensure maximize noise dampening and walls will be fully
insulated to ensure quiet interiors. The property will be designed to provide quieter interiors in far noisier
environments than this location, such as near a freeway.
• All residences and suites are fully climate controlled to eliminate concerns about odor or pollution from
surrounding light industrial uses and roadways. The location of outdoor spaces in protected courtyards
and other protected areas of the property further minimizes concerns about the effects of odor or
pollution on outdoor activity areas.
• The residents of California Grand Village Azusa Greens will rent their residences. This is not a “for sale”
property. As such, if a tenant finds the environs not suitable to their liking, they can move to an alternate
location.
• California Grand Village Azusa Greens are staffed with on-site management 24-hours a day, seven days
a week by a professional management company similar to how a luxury resort is operated. Through the
lease process, tenants will be directed to present complaints to on-site management, who have the
training and experience to deal with all kinds of situations. The on-site managers will be given the tools
they need to resolve the complaint. For example, a complaint about noise can be resolved by moving the
tenant to a different suite or allowing the tenant to break their lease.
In addition to the physical design elements, the landowner has committed to record a covenant against the
portion of the Specific Plan area that includes the Senior Village that achieves the following:
• Discloses to each prospective tenant that the Senior Village is located in close proximity to light industrial
business uses that include manufacturing and shipping activities as well as public events. It is possible
that the operations of the surrounding businesses may generate noise, light pollution, odors and/or
traffic which some people may find unpleasant or objectionable.
• Prevents tenants from complaining, objecting, testifying or otherwise opposing the operation or
expansion of the surrounding businesses before the City of Azusa staff, Planning Commission, and/or City

Council. The covenant also requires each tenant to legally waive their right to challenge the operations
of the surrounding businesses.
Recordation of the “Grant of Restrictive Covenant” provides certainty that existing and future businesses can
continue to operate or expand as permitted by the Azusa Municipal Code without objection from tenants of
the Senior Village.
Land Use Goal 3
Azusa’s corridors will be transformed into well-planned transit corridors, providing some retail and commercial
opportunities in mixed-use settings, providing opportunities for new homes, and connecting all our neighborhoods
and districts.
Policy 3.2
Multifamily and mixed-use units and sites are designed to convey a high level of quality and character, and reflect
and complement surrounding neighborhood character. This includes, but is not limited to:
• using “living space forward” design concepts;
• modulation and building elevation articulation and masses (avoiding undifferentiated “boxlike
structures”);
• incorporating well-defined roof lines;
• using extensive site landscape to complement the architectural design of the structure;
• conveying the visual character of individual units rather than a singular building mass and volume for
multifamily structures;
• including separate, well-defined entries for each residential unit;
• locating the first occupiable floor at or near the predominate grade elevation, ensure subterranean
parking facilities are not visible from the street frontage; and
• siting and design of parking areas and facilities to be integrated with and not dominate the architectural
character of the structure. (LU1, LU2, LU3, LU4, LU6, and LU9)
All of the design elements listed in this Policy are included in the California Grand Village Azusa Greens
Specific Plan Design Guidelines. Please see Sections 4.0 and 5.0 in the Specific Plan. The architecture is
patterned after the Spanish Colonial Revival style, also commonly known as the Santa Barbara architectural
style. The architectural intent is to create a Senior Village that feels like separate residences, but happens to
be structurally attached, thus providing the residents with community living while maintaining independence.
Outdoor uses, such as individual patios and balconies, or common area patios and gardens provide building
separation, soften massing, increase articulation to the structure, and reduce the scale of the structure to the
human level. Likewise, the Conceptual Landscape Plan (Figure 22) is designed to complement the existing
landscaping by incorporating a variety of trees to create a strong street tree program to provide shade and
visual interest and minimize water and demand.
Policy 3.3
Require new developments to provide for on-street landscaping, landscaped parkways, and other streetscape as
specified in the Urban Form Element and Development Code. (LU1 and LU6)
The Senior Village includes new sidewalks along Todd Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue. The sidewalk design
includes new street trees planted every 30 feet on center.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 8
Land Use Goal 4
Azusa will have a thriving and well balanced business sector located within three pedestrian oriented districts
that provide dining, retail, office, and entertainment experiences, and one industrial/technology district that
provides “Tech-Driven” manufacturing, warehousing and other industrial uses along with supporting commercial
uses.
Policy 4.2
Encourage the revitalization of the four districts each with its special or unique focus, identity, and mix of uses:
• West End Industrial District will be the main job center and economic base of Azusa providing specialized,
technological, and manufacturing employment opportunities and supporting retail and commercial
uses. (LU1, LU4, LU6, and LU14)
The proposed Senior Village is consistent with this Policy given the project’s job creation and economic
contribution to Azusa. The Senior Village will create 90 full-time equivalent jobs, which is a larger labor force
than most equally sized industrial uses. Furthermore, the Senior Village job creation spans a wide range of
required skills, from custodial and food service, to professional management and administrative, to highly
trained nursing and therapy (physical and occupational). The Senior Village will contribute to the City’s
economic base by generating a net positive fiscal benefit to the City of approximately $210,000 annually,
according to the Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA). The FIA calculates the projected revenues the City would
receive from sources such as property tax – secured, property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees, utility user
tax, franchise fees, and indirect sales tax capture would exceed the costs placed on the City, such as City
administration, police, and fire by approximately $210,000 annually.
While the proposed project provides a fiscal benefit to the City, the proposal provides an even larger benefit
to the region in terms of overall economic benefit. When considering construction labor, construction
materials, furnishings, and operation of the facility, the overall economic benefit to the region is slightly over
$90 million.
Policy 4.8
Accommodate industrial, manufacturing and supporting commercial use within the West End Industrial District
and in accordance with Table CD-2. (LU1)
This policy is directed at City action to permit industrial, manufacturing, and commercial uses within the
West End Industrial District, which the City’s Regulating Plan has done. The proposed Senior Village would
not take land currently zoned for industrial, manufacturing, or commercial uses out of production. The
project site is currently zoned Recreation, which does not permit any of the uses encouraged by this policy.
Policy 4.9
Require buildings within the West End Industrial District to be uniquely identifiable, distinguished in their
architecture and site planning, and compatible with adjacent uses and districts. (LU1, LU3, LU6, LU9, and LU10)
Compared to the architecture of surrounding buildings, the Senior Village will be uniquely identifiable with its
Santa Barbara inspired architectural theme, contrasting wood elements, and balconies that provide building
articulation and architectural interest.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 9
The Senior Village is also compatible with adjacent land uses, consistent with this Policy. Senior housing is
uniquely qualified for location in non-residential zones. First, the structures, like hotels or office buildings,
can be constructed with sufficient insulation to withstand noisier environments, such as adjacent to freeways
or very busy arterial roadways.
Second, the Senior Village lives inward, toward interior spaces sheltered from surrounding land uses. This
design provides security and privacy for residents, while also further insulating residents from surrounding
land uses. Third, the Senior Village residences are for rent as opposed to for sale, which allows residents and
management more flexibility if a tenant has concerns about surrounding land uses.
One objective of the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan is to, integrate well with surrounding
land uses, with controls established to allow existing and future land uses to operate consistent with their
approvals and under City rules and regulations without fear of objection from future tenants. The following
design elements have been incorporated to achieve that objective.
• The majority of the Independent Living residences are located in the northern portion of the property,
across from existing residential. Only 12 Independent Living residences are located on the south
perimeter of the property. The remaining residences along the south perimeter are Assisted Living and
Memory Care, which have shorter stays and a more controlled environment for patients.
• Common outdoor space is oriented inward rather than out to the adjacent streets. This design provides a
physical buffer from surrounding land uses. The outdoor pool, spa, and deck are located in the northern
portion of the property surrounded by residences. The outdoor dining and activity area are located on
the east side of the property. The outdoor garden space for the Assisted Living and Memory Care is also
surrounded by residences to provide buffer from adjacent land uses.
• The eastern property boundary is designed with a block wall up to 15 feet tall and heavy landscaping to
provide screening and to create a lush landscaped amenity.
• Windows will be a minimum dual glazed to ensure maximize noise dampening and walls will be fully
insulated to ensure quiet interiors. The property will be designed to provide quieter interiors in far noisier
environments than this location, such as near a freeway.
• All residences and suites are fully climate controlled to eliminate concerns about odor or pollution from
surrounding light industrial uses and roadways. The location of outdoor spaces in protected courtyards
and other protected areas of the property further minimizes concerns about the effects of odor or
pollution on outdoor activity areas.
• The residents of California Grand Village Azusa Greens will rent their residences. This is not a “for sale”
property. As such, if a tenant finds the environs not suitable to their liking, they can move to an alternate
location.
• California Grand Village Azusa Greens are staffed with on-site management 24-hours a day, seven days
a week by a professional management company similar to how a luxury resort is operated. Through the
lease process, tenants will be directed to present complaints to on-site management, who have the
training and experience to deal with all kinds of situations. The on-site managers will be given the tools
they need to resolve the complaint. For example, a complaint about noise can be resolved by moving the
tenant to a different suite or allowing the tenant to break their lease.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 10
In addition to the physical design elements, the landowner has committed to record a covenant against the
portion of the Specific Plan area that includes the Senior Village that achieves the following:
• Discloses to each prospective tenant that the Senior Village is located in close proximity to light industrial
business uses that include manufacturing and shipping activities as well as public events. It is possible
that the operations of the surrounding businesses may generate noise, light pollution, odors and/or
traffic which some people may find unpleasant or objectionable.
• Prevents tenants from complaining, objecting, testifying or otherwise opposing the operation or
expansion of the surrounding businesses before the City of Azusa staff, Planning Commission, and/or City
Council. The covenant also requires each tenant to legally waive their right to challenge the operations
of the surrounding businesses.
Recordation of the “Grant of Restrictive Covenant” provides certainty that existing and future businesses can
continue to operate or expand as permitted by the Azusa Municipal Code without objection from tenants of
the Senior Village.
Policy 4.10
In the West End Industrial District, establish and require new developments to provide pedestrian and landscape
linkages to other areas and businesses within the district and to the Foothill Boulevard corridor, as appropriate.
(LU1, LU4, and LU6)
The Senior Village would substantially improve pedestrian linkages in the area. New sidewalk would be
constructed along the south side of Sierra Madre Avenue from Todd Avenue to the east property line. New
sidewalk would be constructed along the east side of Todd Avenue from Sierra Madre Avenue to the southern
property line. As part of a related, yet separate action, the sidewalk would be extended south along Todd
Avenue to 10th Street and east on 10th Street along the entire golf course frontage.
The sidewalk along Todd Avenue within the Senior Village would be separated from a two-way golf cart
path that allows golf carts to connect between holes 2 and 7 on the north side of Sierra Madre with holes
3 through 6 on the south side of Sierra Madre Avenue. An existing crosswalk at the intersection of Todd
Avenue and Sierra Madre allows pedestrians and golf carts to traverse north/south across Sierra Madre
Avenue. The Senior Village will improve that crosswalk by adding flashing red signal warning and pedestrian
safety crossing lighting.
Improving the crossing of Sierra Madre Avenue facilitates access to the San Gabriel River Trail by residents
of the Senior Village.

Land Use Goal 8
Preserve and provide open space for City’s residents that provide visual amenity, recreational opportunities,
protect environmental resources, and protect the population from natural hazards.
Policy 8.9
Require developers of any use whose scale may significantly impact existing open space resources to allocate
sufficient lands as permanent open space for recreation, visual amenity, and/or environmental resources
protection (by dedication, easement, or other City approved technique.) (LU5, LU6, and LU7)
The Senior Village will impact 4.48 acres of land designated Open Space on the City’s General Plan. While
this area cannot by used by the general public without paying fees to the Azusa Greens Country Club and
the area does not provide any environmental resources generally associated with open space, the property
is designated open space on the City’s General Plan. The policy refers to significant impacts to open space,
however “significant” isn’t defined in the General Plan. Per Table 2-1 of the City’s General Plan, the City has
2,045 acres of open space. The loss of 4.48 acres is approximately 0.22%, which is less than ¼ of 1 percent.
The Applicant is working with City staff to determine the significance of this loss and on a program to offset
the loss of open space.
Land Use Goal 9
Ensure that land use development is adequately served by supporting infrastructure and public services.
California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Section 7.0 describes how the proposal is adequately
served by all necessary infrastructure and public services. For example, adequate water supply is available in
Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue. Electrical will provided from newly undergrounded facilities along
Todd Avenue. Sewer facilities include an extension from existing facilities in Todd Avenue.
Policy 9.2
Require that type, amount, and location of development be correlated with the provision of adequate supporting
infrastructure. (LU1, LU11, and LU12)
Section 7.0 in the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan identifies existing and proposed
infrastructure, which is adequate to support the proposed project. Furthermore, the California Grand Village
Azusa Greens Specific Plan EIR includes an analysis of the infrastructure and its ability to accommodate
proposed future development.

Land Use Goal 10
Ensure that land use compatibility among various types of land uses.
Policy 10.3
Require that the elevation of all parking structures facing residential parcels be lined with residential or
commercial uses, enclosed, or controlled to prevent adverse noise and air emissions impacts on residences.
Incorporate architectural design elements, such as surface treatments, off-set planes, and structural articulation
and landscape, to provide visual interest and to be compatible with adjacent residences. (LU1 and LU6)
The parking structure is located to the interior of the Senior Village, wrapped by residences, which completely
conceal the parking structure from surrounding residential uses and adjoining streets.
Policy 10.4
Require rooftop parking adjacent to residential areas be enclosed by a wall or other appropriate element within
an adequate distance to prevent adverse visual and noise impacts. (LU1 and LU6)
The parking structure for the Senior Village is entirely wrapped by residential units and architecture, therefore,
no rooftop parking would be visible from surrounding properties or right-of-way.
Land Use Goal 11
Ensure the proper maintenance of buildings and properties.
Policy 11.1
Require all structures to be constructed in accordance with City building and other pertinent codes and regulations,
including all new, adaptively re-used, and renovated buildings; allowing appropriate exceptions for historically-
significant buildings. (LU3)
The City of Azusa building plan check and permitting process ensures design compliant with current codes.
Policy 11.3
Require all developments including renovations and adaptive reuse of existing structures (except historically
significant buildings) be designed to provide adequate space for access, parking, supporting functions, open
space, and other pertinent elements. (LU1 and LU3)
The Senior Village is designed with all of the elements encouraged by the policy and more, and those elements
are documented in the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan to ensure implementation. For
example, two access points are provided, one provides access to the parking structure and the other provides
access for deliveries and emergency vehicles. Additionally, the cornerstone of the Senior Village is the vast
array of services and amenities provided, including open space, recreation, neighborhood gathering areas,
and services, such as concierge, transportation, salon, etc.

Urban Form Goal 4
Improve the visual appeal of the City.
Policy 4.4
Require signage to be designed considering the scale and materials of adjacent buildings, the desired character
of the neighborhood, district, or corridor where the site is located, and pedestrian orientation.
(UF9)
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan includes specific sign criteria in Sections 4.6 and
5.4. The design of signage must be compatible with the style of the building; include natural materials; and
include up-lighting.
Policy 11.7
Require new development and existing development be maintained in a safe manner. (LU23)
The Senior Village includes full-time on-site security for the safety of its residents. Furthermore, a Fire Master
Plan for the Senior Village has been approved by the LA County Fire Department to ensure compliance with
the latest Fire Code and its life safety provisions. The Applicant has also met with Azusa Police Department
representatives and conditions of approval require preparation of a signage plan, lighting plan, and internal
security plan, all of which will be prepared with the objective of improving resident safety.
Urban Form Goal 5
Maintain the visual character and scale of existing neighborhoods.
Policy 5.1
Encourage new residential projects to be built in a form and scale compatible with and appropriate to their
surroundings. (UF4)
One objective of the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan is to, integrate well with surrounding
land uses, with controls established to allow existing and future land uses to operate consistent with their
approvals and under City rules and regulations without fear of objection from future tenants. The following
design elements have been incorporated to achieve that objective and compatibility with surrounding uses.
• The majority of the Independent Living residences are located in the northern portion of the property,
closest to existing residential uses located north of Sierra Madre Avenue. Only 12 Independent Living
residences are located solely on the south perimeter of the building footprint. The remaining residences
along the south perimeter are Assisted Living and Memory Care, which have shorter stays and a more
controlled environment for patients.
• Common outdoor space is oriented inward rather than out to the adjacent streets. This design provides
a physical buffer from surrounding land uses. The outdoor pool, spa, and deck are located in the
northern portion of the property surrounded by residences. The outdoor dining and activity area are
located on the east side of the property. The outdoor garden space for the Assisted Living and Memory
Care is also surrounded by residences to provide buffer from adjacent land uses.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 14
• The eastern property boundary is designed with a block wall up to 15 feet tall and landscaped with vines
to create a living wall.
• Windows will be dual glazed to ensure maximize noise dampening and walls will be fully insulated to
ensure quiet interiors. The property is designed to provide quiet interiors in far noisier environments
than this location, such as near a freeway.
• All residences and suites are fully climate controlled to eliminate concerns about odor or pollution from
surrounding light industrial uses and roadways. The location of outdoor spaces in protected courtyards
and other protected areas of the property further minimizes concerns about the effects of odor or
pollution on outdoor activity areas.
• The residents of California Grand Village Azusa Greens will rent their residences. This is not a “for-sale”
property. As such, if a tenant finds the environs not suitable to their liking, they can move to an alternate
location within the village, or to another southern California senior living project.
• The California Grand Village Azusa Greens is staffed with on-site management 24-hours a day, seven
days a week by a professional management company similar to how a luxury resort is operated. Through
the lease process, tenants will be directed to present complaints to on-site management, who have the
training and experience to deal with all kinds of situations. The on-site managers will be given the tools
they need to resolve the complaint. For example, a complaint about noise can be resolved by moving the
tenant to a different suite or allowing the tenant to break their lease.
In addition to the physical design elements, the landowner has committed to record a covenant against the
portion of the Specific Plan area that includes the Senior Village that achieves the following:
• Discloses to each prospective tenant that the Senior Village is located in close proximity to light industrial
business uses that include manufacturing and shipping activities as well as public events. It is possible
that the operations of the surrounding businesses may generate noise, light pollution, odors and/or
traffic which some people may find unpleasant or objectionable.
• Prevents tenants from complaining, objecting, testifying before the City, or otherwise opposing the
operation or expansion of the surrounding businesses. The covenant also requires each tenant to legally
waive their right to challenge the operations of the surrounding businesses.
Recordation of the “Grant of Restrictive Covenant” provides certainty that existing and future businesses can
continue to operate or expand as permitted by the Azusa Municipal Code without objection from tenants of
the Senior Village.
Urban Form Goal 12
Transform existing commercial corridors into mixed-use corridors incorporating housing with commercial uses
concentrated in nodes at major intersections.
Policy 12.2
Where landscape occurs between the sidewalk and building or parking lot, it should define the specific character
of each project. (UF5, UF10, and UF12)

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 15
Mobility Goal 1
Balance the roadway with the planned land uses in the City.
Policy 1.2
Maintain Level of Service D on roadway segments and at signalized intersections throughout the City, except in
the down- town area, the University District, and in the vicinity of freeway interchanges where Level of Service E
shall be maintained in these areas. (M1)
The Senior Village generates substantially less traffic than other equivalent land uses. A traffic study prepared
by Linscott, Law, and Greenspan (LLG), which is included in the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific
Plan EIR, determined that the Senior Village would not result in any significant impacts to the circulation
network. Moreover, the traffic pattern for a Senior Village is different than a standard multi-family project in
that the majority of the occupants are no longer working, hence the peak hour trips are minimal.
Policy 1.3
Require the cost of improvements to the existing circulation system and new circulation system necessitated by
new development to be borne by that development that gains benefit. (M3)
The Senior Village will bear the expense of circulation improvements within the project boundaries, including
new sidewalks along Todd Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue; new golf cart path; enhanced pedestrian
crossing of Sierra Madre Avenue; and re-striping Todd Avenue. The improvements along Todd Avenue include
replacement of curb and gutter, paint or sign the Senior Village frontage for “no parking,” and re-stripe Todd
Avenue to include a 12-foot wide center turn lane, 11-foot interior through lanes, and 14-foot curb lane.
It should be noted that based on the Fiscal Impact Analysis prepared by DPFG (2016), the projected revenues
the City would receive from sources such as property tax – secured, property tax in-lieu of vehicle license
fees, utility user tax, franchise fees, and indirect sales tax capture would exceed the costs placed on the City,
such as City administration, police, and fire by approximately $210,000 annually. The excess fiscal benefit
would contribute to the project’s reliance on an established circulation system.
The Senior Village includes landscaping between the sidewalk and buildings along both Sierra Madre Avenue
and Todd Avenue. The landscaping is designed to both promote water conservation and compliment the
Santa Barbara style architecture. The landscape palette includes a variety of species with different textures,
colors and sizes. Additionally, natural elements, such as boulders, are incorporated into the landscape and
signage designs to further compliment the building architecture. The landscape design and plant palette are
incorporated into the California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan to ensure implementation of these
features.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 16
Mobility Goal 4
Design/Redesign streets to encourage pedestrian and bicycles and to accommodate vehicles. Make City streets
more pedestrian-friendly and bicycle-friendly.
Policy 4.3
Provide sidewalks on all city streets, as appropriate (see Mobility Policy 3.1). (M8)
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan includes new sidewalk along Sierra Madre Avenue
extending from Todd Avenue to the eastern property boundary. The Specific Plan also includes a new
sidewalk and golf cart path. This sidewalk could also accommodate bicycles, along the Todd Avenue frontage.
As part of a separate but related project, the developer will also extend the sidewalk along Todd Avenue
to 10th Street and along the north side of 10th Street for the entire golf course frontage, which provides
a connection from the multi-family residential projects on 10th Street to the San Gabriel river open space
trails.
Mobility Goal 8
Encourage walking, biking, and the use of transit through a variety of land use development and urban design
measures.
Policy 8.1
Plan for an adequate amount, not an oversupply, of parking for autos, carpool vans, and bicycles for each land
use. (M13)
Since the Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) land use is unique because it combines Independent
Living with Memory Care and Assisted Living, parking does not fit into a land use category defined in the
City of Azusa Municipal Code. Therefore, a parking study specific to the RCFE land use was prepared by LLG
traffic engineers. A minimum of 1 parking space for each residence (Independent Living, Assisted Living, or
Memory Care) shall be provided1, which provides a blended rate to accommodate resident, employee, and
guest parking demand. The majority of the parking shall be provided in a parking structure. The multi-level
parking structure shall be completely wrapped by residential suites and not visible to the public right-of-way,
or surrounding properties.
The parking study concluded that 253 parking spaces provides more than sufficient parking.
1. Parking requirements based on the Parking Study performed by Linscott, Law & Greenspan Engineers, August 9, 2018.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 17
Housing Goal 1
Assist in the provision of adequate housing to meet the needs of the community. Establish a balanced approach
to meet housing needs that includes both owner and renter households.
Policy 1.1
Provide a range of residential development types in Azusa, including low density single-family homes, moderate
density townhomes, higher density apartments and condominiums, and residential/commercial mixed-use in
order to address the City’s share of regional housing needs. (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6)
The policy encourages a range of housing types in Azusa. While not specifically listed in this policy, the Senior
Village is a type of housing encouraged by other policies in the Housing Element, which is under served
within the City.
Policy 1.6
Assist residential developers in identifying and preparing land suitable for residential development (H14 and H15)
The City has many tools to assist residential developers as encouraged by this Policy. In the case of the Senior
Village, the City’s assistance occurs through the recognition that 1) the Senior Village is compatible with
surrounding land uses through implementation of design components incorporated into the Specific Plan
and 2) alternate sites for a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), such as the Senior Village, are not
readily available in Azusa, thus a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on the project site are justified.
Policy 1.7
Support the provision of high quality rental housing for large families, students, and senior citizen households.
(H3, H4, and H5)
The Senior Village provides new housing to Azusa to seniors over the age of 62.
Housing Goal 3
Provide adequate sites for the development of new housing through appropriate land use and zoning designations
to accommodate the City’s share of regional housing needs.
Policy 3.4
Utilize the specific plan process as a tool to provide flexible and creative solutions to housing on larger pieces of
property, such as the Azusa Pacific University and Monrovia Nursery sites. (H14)
The Specific Plan area consists of 4.48 acres designated for RCFE, which permits the development of a Senior
Village. Given the size of the Specific Plan area and the uniqueness of the RCFE land use, a specific plan
was prepared. The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan incorporates flexible and creative
solutions to provide senior housing to the City while protecting the on-going and future operations of the
existing businesses in the area. Activities will be coordinated with Azusa Pacific University, which will be an
attractive resource for transition into senior living for those currently living in Rosedale.

Infrastructure Goal 1
Provide an electrical supply system that is able to meet the projected electrical demands; upgrade and expand
supply, transmission, and distribution facilities; and pursue funding sources to reduce the cost of electric provision
for the City.
Policy 1.8
Ensure the costs of improvements to the existing electrical supply and distribution facilities necessitated by new
development to be borne by the new development benefiting from the improvements, either through the payment
of fees, or the actual cost of construction, or both in accordance with State Nexus legislation. (I2, I6, and I9)
Any improvements to the electrical system associated with the Senior Village will be borne by the new
development. Electricity and gas will be provided to the Specific Plan area by Azusa Light and Water and
The Gas Company, respectively. Existing above ground electric facilities are located along Todd Avenue. The
above ground facilities are located on the east (golf course) side of Todd Avenue to a point approximately
equal to the southern extent of the Rain Bird building, at which point the above ground electrical lines
cross Todd Avenue to the west side and continue north to Sierra Madre Avenue. The Senior Village does
not interfere with the above ground electrical lines. Underground electric lines are also located within
Sierra Madre Avenue. The Senior Village will connect to existing electrical facilities in either Todd Avenue or
Sierra Madre Avenue, or both, with underground service. Communication lines, such as Verizon and Charter
Communications follow the same alignment as the electrical lines. Similar connections would be made to
the Senior Village for communication facilities. Natural gas is also available in both Todd Avenue and Sierra
Madre Avenue and the Senior Village will make underground connections at either one or both locations.
To provide electrical service to the Senior Village, an additional underground electrical circuit must be
installed from the existing sub-station on North Angelino Avenue to the project site.
Infrastructure Goal 2
Provide a water supply system that is able to meet the projected water demands; upgrade and expand supply,
and distribution facilities; and pursue funding sources to reduce the cost of water provision for the City.
Policy 2.4
Require that new development and retrofit existing developments to contain safeguards and measures preventing
water supply degradation. (I2)
The Senior Village includes a new looped water system with connections at Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd
Avenue, designed to meet the City’s standards.
Policy 2.5
Require all new development to connect to the sewer system. (I2)
The Senior Village includes an extension of an existing sewer line in Todd Avenue to serve the new residences.

Infrastructure Goal 4
Provide a flood control system that is able to support permitted land uses, while preserving the public safety;
upgrade existing deficient systems; and pursue funding sources to reduce cost of flood control provision in the
City.
Policy 4.7
Require improvements to the existing storm drain and flood control facilities necessitated by new development
to be borne by the new development benefiting from the improvements, either through the payment of fees, or
the actual cost of construction, or both in accordance with State Nexus legislation. (I2)
The Senior Village accommodates water quality and storm runoff by a series of underground vaults designed
to hold storm water, promote groundwater infiltration, and release storm flows into Todd Avenue at a rate
less than existing. All costs of this system are borne by the developer.
Policy 4.8
Require new developments to employ the most efficient drainage technology to increase ground percolation,
control drainage, and minimize damage to environmentally sensitive areas. (I2, I7, and I8)
The underground vault system included as part of the Senior Village relies on the latest technology to
promote groundwater recharge. The system provides a secondary benefit of controlling storm flows such
that the release during the peak discharge is less than existing.
Infrastructure Goal 5
Maintain solid waste collection and disposal service in accordance with the California Integrated Waste
Management Act of 1989, pursue funding sources to reduce the cost of the collection and disposal services in
the City.
Policy 5.1
Maintain adequate solid waste collection for commercial, industrial, and residential developments in accordance
with State law. (I3, I5, and I9)
The Senior Village would implement a recycling system consistent with AB 939’s waste reduction goals.
Assembly Bill 939 requires waste reduction to reduce strain on existing landfills. The Senior Village will meet
the requirements of AB 939 by encouraging recycling and waste reduction. Waste reduction measures may
include separate refuse and recycle trash cans placed throughout the Senior Village and in the dining areas,
offices, and meeting rooms; work with the waste hauler to collect separated trash, including recyclables;
collapse and recycle all cardboard boxes received with food and goods shipments; and encourage residents
and staff to reduce waste by donating goods to charity instead of placing items in the trash bins.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 21
Economy Development Goal 4
Create a high-quality employment environment for Azusa residents.
Policy 4.1
Support the creation of high-quality jobs for relatively low skill levels. (EC1 and EC4)
The Senior Village creates approximately 90 full-time equivalent jobs. The majority will be high quality jobs
requiring a variety of skills. The creation of new high-quality jobs in Azusa will contribute to the existing
workforce and economic development of the City.
Economy Development Goal 1
Build and maintain a strong, diverse economy in Azusa.
Policy 1.1
Continuously monitor strategic opportunities and measure Azusa’s competitiveness within the regional economy.
(EC1)
The aging of Baby Boomers is an extremely large demographic that provides an economic opportunity for
Azusa to be competitive in the regional housing marketplace. The demand for senior housing continues to
rise as Baby Boomers age, yet supply has not kept pace with rising demand. Therefore, the Senior Village
allows Azusa to compete in the region by supplying housing to this rising demographic.
The Senior Village allows Azusa to provide senior housing to its residents who want to remain in Azusa but
are looking for a senior housing solution. Instead of losing these residents to other areas of the region, Azusa
can retain its senior resident base, as well as attract new senior residents with discretionary spending power.
Finally, planning for multiple generations can influence housing choices for non-seniors. One factor can
be proximity to elderly parents. Another can be location where the non-senior ultimately wants to retire,
possibly to be close to children. The Senior Village can make Azusa more attractive to those non-senior
families looking for multiple generation housing solutions.
Economy Development Goal 8
Housing opportunities.
Policy 8.1
Work to ensure a range of housing opportunities for Azusa residents of all ages, incomes, and family structures.
(EC8)
The California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan includes a Senior Village designed to provide new
high-quality housing to those over 62 years of age. The Senior Village primarily includes Independent Living
residences, as well as Assisted Living and Memory Care suites for those who need extra assistance.

Economy Development Goal 9
Create a diverse and balanced revenue base with long-term value, avoided excess reliance on a single revenue
source.
Policy 9.2
Promote in a housing stock that will appreciate in value over time. (EC8)
Predicting future housing values is difficult, however, the very high existing and future demand for senior
housing is well documented. An increase in demand with limited supply generally results in higher values.
Policy 9.3
Promote business development that can support the city’s property tax base, generate business-to-business sales
taxes, and enhance Azusa’s economic health and quality of life. (EC1 and EC4)
The Senior Village will generate approximately 90 full time equivalent jobs, which contributes to the City’s
economic health. Additionally, the Senior Village will generate approximately $210,000 annually of surplus
revenue for the City.
Economy Development Goal 11
Create a unique place with high quality of life for all its residents.
Policy 11.1
Promote quality of life for its own sake as well as making it part of an economic development strategy. Coordinate
carefully with the other elements of the General Plan that address such key features of Azusa’s physical setting
such as the natural environment. (EC2, EC3, EC7, and EC8)
The purpose of the Senior Village is quality of life. The Senior Village is designed to take care of seniors and
provide them a luxurious and safe setting. Meals, transportation, and social events are all taken care of and
organized for the residents.
Policy 11.2
Build long-term value in the community. (EC2, EC3, EC6, EC7, and EC8)
Long-term value is often influenced by supply and demand. Very little senior housing has been supplied,
yet demand continues to grow. With little supply and high demand, the property value is likely to increase.
Furthermore, the Senior Village builds value in Azusa by providing a housing option to seniors who live
in the City and want to remain in Azusa, and by attracting seniors from outside of Azusa who likely have
discretionary income to eat and shop in Azusa and become part of the community.
Policy 11.3
Connect housing development and residential quality to all aspects of the economic development strategy. (EC1
and EC8)
The Senior Village provides housing to an underserved senior Independent Living market, creates 90 full-

time equivalent jobs, and leaves the City with an additional $210,000 annually from an increase in taxes.
Therefore, the Senior Village balances providing housing to an underserved market while providing a fiscal
benefit to the City.
Public Service Goal 1
Protect the Community from criminal activity, reduce the incidence of crime, and provide other necessary service
within the City.
Policy 1.3
Require development projects contribute fees based on their proportional impact and demand for new resources,
in accordance with State Nexus legislation. (PS3)
Based on the Fiscal Impact Analysis prepared by DPFG (2016), the projected revenues the City would
receive from sources such as property tax – secured, property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees, utility user
tax, franchise fees, and indirect sales tax capture would exceed the costs placed on the City, such as City
administration, police, and fire by approximately $210,000 annually. Furthermore, according to the Los
Angeles County Fire Department, the Fire Department has a procedure to recover costs for medical aid
emergencies, which avoids additional fiscal demand being placed on the City.
Policy 1.8
Ensure that project development site designs provide “defensible space.” (PS5)
The Senior Village includes a Fire Master Plan that has been reviewed and approved by the LA County Fire
Department under contract to the City of Azusa. The Fire Department determined that the site plan provides
sufficient access, exiting, and defensible space in accordance with the Fire Code.
Public Service Goal 2
Ensure adequate protection from fire and medical emergencies for Azusa Residents and Property Owners.
Policy 2.5
Require all new development be assessed a pro-rated fee to pay for fire facilities and personnel. (PS3)
Based on the Fiscal Impact Analysis prepared by DPFG (2016), the projected revenues the City would
receive from sources such as property tax – secured, property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees, utility user
tax, franchise fees, and indirect sales tax capture would exceed the costs placed on the City, such as City
administration, police, and fire by approximately $210,000 annually. Furthermore, according to the LA

Policy 2.6
Require all new development to design site plans and structures with fire and emergency access and safety in
mind. (PS5)
The Senior Village includes a Fire Master Plan that has been reviewed and approved by the LA County Fire
Department under contract to the City of Azusa. The Fire Department determined that the site plan provides
sufficient access, exiting, and defensible space in accordance with the Fire Code.
Policy 2.7
Ensure that buildings and lots are maintained in a manner that is consistent with fire prevention and personal
safety. (PS5 and PS6)
The Senior Village will be managed by an on-site full-time professional management company, that will be
responsible for all property management, including life safety items identified in the Fire Master Plan.
Recreational Goal 1
Provide constructive and creative leisure opportunities for all Azusans.
Policy 1.1
Provide leisure opportunities through programs and activities that serve the general population, multi-
generational needs, and the specialized needs of the physically challenged, young children, and seniors. (Rec1,
Rec2, and Rec3)
While this policy is intended for the City to develop recreation programs for a wide range of its residents,
it is important to note that the Senior Village provides an extensive range of programs and activities for its
residents. What makes a development like the Senior Village so successful is the combination of high quality
housing and extensive amenity package, including activities and programming for its residents.
Geology Hazards Goal 1
Ensure the continued functioning of essential (critical, sensitive and high-occupancy) facilities following a disaster;
help prevent loss of life from the failure of critical and sensitive facilities in an earthquake; and help prevent major
problems for post-disaster, response, such as difficult or hazardous evacuations or rescues, numerous injuries,
and major cleanup or decontamination of hazardous materials.
Policy 1.2
Require that proposed essential facilities apply the most current professional standards for seismic design and
be subject to seismic review, including detailed site investigations for faulting, liquefaction, ground motion
characteristics, and slope stability. (Geo1, Geo2, Geo4, Geo5, Geo13, and Geo27).
While the Senior Village is not considered an essential facility, its design is based on the most current codes
for seismic and other structural standards.

California Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan Page | A - 25
Policy 1.3
Prohibit the location of Critical Facilities within an identified fault zone or potentially active fault zone of concern
(or future Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, Figure Geo-2), unless it is determined by a qualified geologic
engineer that a closer location will not result in undue risks based on detailed site investigations. (Geo1, Geo11,
Geo14 and Geo27).
A thorough geotechnical investigation was conducted that determined the Senior Village is located outside
of an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The documentation is presented in the California Grand Village
Azusa Greens Specific Plan EIR.
Policy 1.4
Prohibit the location of Sensitive and High-Occupancy facilities within 100 feet of the identified active fault zone
or potentially active fault zone of concern, unless it is determined by a qualified geologic engineer that a closer
location will not result in undue risks based on detailed site investigations. (Geo1, Geo2, Geo11, Geo14, and
Geo27)
A thorough geotechnical investigation was conducted that determined the Senior Village is located outside
of an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The documentation is presented in the California Grand Village
Azusa Greens Specific Plan EIR. A fault was discovered south of the Senior Village within the golf course area.
The distance is greater than 100 feet to the Senior Village, therefore, no geologic setbacks are required of
the Senior Village.
Air Quality Goal 1
Improve air quality in Azusa and reduce exposure to air pollutants.
Policy 1.1
Integrate air quality concerns into land use planning decisions (AQ1 through AQ4, and AQ8).
The Senior Village is not a substantial producer of air quality emissions, as documented in the California
Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan EIR. As a receiver, the Senior Village has been designed to live
inward, with interior courtyards or other protected outdoor space. Interior common spaces and individual
units are all climate controlled.
Policy 1.2
Integrate air quality concerns into site design review (AQ1 and AQ5).
The Senior Village is not a substantial producer of air quality emissions, as documented in the California
Grand Village Azusa Greens Specific Plan EIR. As a receiver, the Senior Village has been designed to live

Noise Goal 1
Maintain community noise levels that meet health guidelines and allow for a high quality of life.
Policy 1.1
Integrate noise considerations in the City’s land use planning and project approval process (N1, N2, N3, N5, N6,
N10, N11, and N12).
The Senior Village is not a substantial noise producer, as documented in the California Grand Village Azusa
Greens Specific Plan EIR. As a receiver, the Senior Village has been designed to live inward, with interior
courtyards or other protected outdoor space. Interior common spaces and individual units are all climate
controlled and well insulated. Furthermore, windows will be a minimum dual glazed to ensure maximize
noise dampening and walls will be fully insulated to ensure quiet interiors. The property will be designed to
provide quieter interiors in far noisier environments than this location, such as near a freeway.
Policy 1.2
Integrate noise considerations in the City’s land use planning and project approval process. (N1, N2, N3, N5, N6,
N10, N11, and N12)
The Senior Village is not a substantial noise producer, as documented in the California Grand Village Azusa

controlled and well insulated. Furthermore, windows will be a minimum dual glazed to ensure maximize
noise dampening and walls will be fully insulated to ensure quiet interiors. The property will be designed to
provide quieter interiors in far noisier environments than this location, such as near a freeway.
Housing Element Goal H3
Provide adequate sites for the development of new housing through appropriate land use and zoning designations
to accommodate the City’s share of regional housing needs.
Policy H3.1
Provide a range of residential development types in Azusa, including low-density single-family homes, moderate-
density townhomes, higher-density multi-family units, and residential/commercial mixed use in order to address
the City’s share of regional housing needs.
The Senior Village provides a type of housing that is limited in the City of Azusa. While not specified in the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment, senior housing is considered a special needs category that housing
elements are required to address. Therefore, the Senior Village helps the City meets its housing goals.

Policy H3.7
Support the provision of high-quality rental housing for large families, students and senior households.
The Senior Village provides housing to senior households, consistent with this policy.
Policy H3.8
Provide incentives to facilitate the development of senior housing options.
With the elimination of redevelopment areas, the City’s ability to provide direct incentives, such as funding
or land, for senior housing no longer exists. However, the City has the ability to encourage and provide an
incentive for senior housing by considering legislative actions such as a General Plan Amendment and Zone
Code to allow for senior housing options in areas where housing might not be typically permitted.
Residential zoned properties tend to be economically infeasible for senior housing. Development in a
residential zone that allows multi-family uses can generate greater returns from for-sale condominiums/
townhomes or market-rate apartment projects. This is evidenced by the proliferation of both types of
developments throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. However, the high operational costs associated
with full-service senior housing, coupled with a market cap on what seniors can pay for housing, eliminates
most multi-family sites from economic consideration for senior housing. The result is a combination of a lack
of new senior housing and senior housing being located in non-residential zones.
Unlike market rate housing, senior housing is uniquely qualified for location in non-residential zones. First,
the structures, like hotels or office buildings, can be constructed with sufficient insulation to withstand
noisier environments, such as adjacent to freeways or very busy arterial roadways.
Second, senior housing complexes tend to live inward, toward interior spaces sheltered from surrounding
land uses. This design provides security and privacy for residents, while also further insulating residents from
surrounding land uses. Third, most senior communities are “for rent” as opposed to “for sale” therefore
residents generally don’t try to protect their real estate asset like they would if they owned the property.
Lastly, the unfortunate reality is the length of stay at senior communities is less than a typical homeowner
in a residential neighborhood.
The majority of recent Senior Housing developments located in Southern California are not located in
residentially zoned areas, which means to encourage and incentivize the construction of senior housing,
cities are supporting legislative actions to permit senior housing in non-residential districts.

CGVA Partners, LLC
1209 Santiago Drive
Newport Beach, California 92660
LLG Reference No. 2.16.3690.1
Subject: Revised Parking Demand Analysis for the
California Grand Villages at Azusa Greens
Azusa, California
Dear Mr. Purvis:
As requested, Linscott, Law, & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this
revised Parking Demand Analysis for the proposed California Grand Villages at
Azusa Greens (CGVAG) project (hereinafter referred to as Project). The proposed
Project, as illustrated in the most current Site Plan prepared by Irwin Partners
Architects dated August 2018, includes development of a 253-unit independent
living village for seniors and amenities that includes a restaurant/food service,
recreation center, entertainment facilities, pool/spa and gym, similar to other senior
facilities now in existence and/or under development. The Project site is a 4.48±
rectangular-shaped parcel of land that is generally located at the southeast corner of
Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue in the northwest corner of the City of Azusa
within the Azusa Greens Country Club. The subject property, which zoned “open
space” in the City’s General Plan Land Use Map/Zoning Map, is a part of the golf
course.
Pursuant to our discussions and understanding of the City of Azusa requirements, the
preparation of a parking study is required in order to validate that the proposed
Project can adequately meet its peak parking demand requirements. This report
evaluates the Project’s parking needs based on the consideration of the City’s
Municipal Code, as well as a comparison to parking information contained in the 4th
Edition of Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) [Washington, D.C., 2010], and previous field studies of actual
parking demand at existing sites with similar characteristics.

Azusa Greens, Azusa Parking Study 8-9-18.doc
This study focused on the following tasks:
a) Calculates the proposed Project parking requirements based on the application of
the City of Azusa Municipal Code parking ratios; identifies any Code-based
surplus or deficiency by comparing Code requirements against the proposed
supply;
b) Calculates the proposed Project parking requirements based on the application of
the 4th Edition of Parking Generation, published by ITE parking ratios; identifies
any ITE-based surplus or deficiency by comparing ITE requirements against the
proposed supply;
c) Compared actual field study empirical parking ratios from similar sites;
d) Calculated the design-level parking demands based on the empirical parking ratio
comparison assessment as stated above, and validated the adequacy of the
proposed parking supply.
Our method of analysis, findings, and recommendations are detailed in the following
sections of this report.
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The Project site is a 4.48± rectangular-shaped parcel of land that is generally located
at the southeast corner of Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue in the northwest
corner of the City of Azusa within the Azusa Greens Country Club. The subject
property, which zoned “open space” in the City’s General Plan Land Use
Map/Zoning Map, is a part of the golf course. Figure 1, located at the rear of this
letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which illustrates the general location of the
subject property in the context of the surrounding street system.
The proposed Project includes development of a 253-unit independent living village
for seniors within a resort setting. This facility includes amenities such as meals in a
gourmet restaurant, deli, housekeeping, concierge, security, high-tech movie theater,
computer café, art studio, salon and spa, gym/fitness rooms, transportation, and
numerous programmed activities and outing. Please note that based on extensive
research and discussion with ISL Ventures, who runs over 80 communities
nationwide, the amenities identified above are consistent with typical senior facilities
owned and operated by ISL Ventures as well as other similar companies. Table 1
summarizes the proposed Project development totals for the site. Review of Table 1
shows that the proposed Project will consist of 253-units, of which 199 are specified

for senior independent living, 28 for senior assisted living, and 26 for senior memory
care. While primarily an independent living village, the assisted living and memory
care provide continuing care as needed. A total of 253 parking spaces is proposed
within a four level parking garage. Figure 2 presents the Conceptual Site Plan for the
Project, prepared by Irwin Partners Architects dated August 2018.
PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS
To determine the number of parking spaces required to support the proposed Project,
the parking requirement was calculated based on three methods. The first method is
based on parking information per the City of Azusa Municipal Code Section
88.36.050 Number of Parking Spaces Required. The second method is based on
parking information contained in the 4th Edition of Parking Generation, published by
the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) [Washington, D.C., 2010]. The third
method is based on results of previous parking study of similar independent living
and/or assisted living facilities for which empirical parking rates were developed for
these proposed project land uses.
Parking Requirements per City Code
This section determines the number of parking spaces required to support the
Proposed Project based on the City of Azusa Municipal Code Section 88.36.050
Number of Parking Spaces Required. As noted earlier, the Project includes the
construction of 253-units, of which 199 are specified for senior independent living, 28
for senior assisted living, and 26 for senior memory care.
The City’s Municipal Code only provides a parking code ratio for Senior Housing,
and not for a Residential Care Facility for Elderly (RCFE) use. Section 88.36.050
states:
Senior Housing Project: one (1) space for each unit in a garage, plus one (1)
guest parking space for each 4 units.
It appears that the Senior Housing Project parking ratio applies to Senior Citizen
Apartments, which are the only specified Allowable Uses identified in Corridors
(88.26.005) and Districts (88.24.005). However, Senior Citizen Apartments have a
very different parking demand than a full-service RCFE development with a mix of
independent, assisted and memory care residences. Furthermore, Section 88.36.080
appears to recognize the variation in parking requirements for senior projects and
establishes a procedure to determine parking requirements “based on quantitative
information provided by the applicant that documents the need for fewer spaces for

Azusa Greens, Azusa Parking Study 8-9-18.doc
these types of residential projects.” Therefore it is our opinion that the Senior
Housing Project parking requirement does not apply and the following quantitative
analysis based on ITE rates as well as actual field studies are more appropriate.
Additional Staffing
Based on comments from City staff, it is our understanding that staff is under the
impression that a highly amenitized senior facility, like the proposed Project, would
require additional parking requirements when compared to a facility that does not
provide them. However, as noted earlier, the amenities identified are consistent with
typical senior facilities now in existence and/or under development. In any event,
based on information provided by the Applicant, key staffing details identified that a
highly amenitized facility may require additional staffing, of which would include the
following additional staff:
Two (2) Chaplains
One (1) Director Assistant
One (1) Voluntary Coordinator
One (1) Driver
Three (3) Physical Therapists
One (1) Assistant
Review of the above information shows that the proposed Project may require up to
an additional nine (9) employees. To provide a conservative assessment, the parking
demand forecasts presented later in this report have included up to nine (9) additional
spaces to account for the potential staffing increase.
Parking Requirements per 4th Edition of Parking Generation
This section determines the number of parking spaces required to support the
proposed Project, inclusive of the combined demand of residents, staff/employees,
and guests, based on parking generation rates contained within the 4th Edition of
Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
[Washington, D.C., 2010]. ITE’s 4th Edition of Parking Generation specifies the
following weekday 85th percentile peak parking rates for senior adult housing
(attached) and assisted living:
ITE Land Use 252: Senior Adult Housing – Attached: 0.66 spaces per unit.
ITE Land Use 254: Assisted Living: 0.54 spaces per unit.
Please note that use of these land uses to determine project parking requirements is
consistent with the land uses utilized to develop the trip generation for the proposed

Project as identified in the California Grand Villages at Azusa Greens Traffic Impact
Analysis Report dated February 6, 2018, prepared by LLG.
Table 2 summarizes the parking requirements for the proposed Project using the
above-referenced ITE peak parking ratios. As shown, direct application of ITE peak
parking ratios to the development totals results in a parking requirement of 132 parking
spaces for the proposed senior independent living development, 30 parking spaces for
the proposed assisted living and memory care component of the Project and 9 spaces
for additional staffing. With a proposed parking supply of 253 spaces, a parking
surplus of 82 spaces is forecast for the proposed Project.
Empirical Parking Rates
In addition to the ITE parking rate, research has been conducted for empirical parking
ratios. Below provides detailed empirical parking ratios from similar sites. Please
note that the parking rates identified below are based on parking studies of facilities
similar to that of the proposed Project and include the demand associated with
residents, staff/employees and guests. As such, the parking ratios used to forecast the
parking demand of the proposed Project are a “blended ratio” that already accounts
for the combined demand of residents, staff/employees, and guests. As such, no
further adjustment or additional parking calculations are required to account for the
parking demand for staff/employees, or even guests.

Parking Needs Study Vivante Senior Living Community – Phase II (“Vivante
North”), City of Costa Mesa, dated June 20, 2016, prepared by LLG. In this
study, parking surveys were conducted at the existing Vivante senior living
facility located at 1640 Monrovia Avenue in the City of Costa Mesa. This existing
facility provides a total of 185 senior units inclusive of assisted living and
memory care living units. Based on its mix of studio, one bedroom and two
bedroom units, this 185-unit total translates to the equivalent of 225 beds.
Empirical parking rates derived were:
Independent and Assisted Living
0.67 spaces/unit on a peak Sunday or holiday
0.57 spaces/unit on a typical weekday
0.46 spaces/unit on a typical weekend day
Please note that Vivante Senior Living is classified as a luxury facility that was
awarded in 2016 “best assisted living community in Southern California”. This
facility provides similar amenities to that of the proposed Project such as dining
facilities, housekeeping, concierge, security, movie theater, art studio, salon and spa,
gym/fitness rooms, transportation, and numerous programmed activities and outing.

Based on the results of the parking ratio compilation presented above, the parking
ratios from LLG’s May 2015 study for the Emerald Court project were generally
greater compared to those presented in the LLG’s June 2016 study for the Vivante
North project and the ATE study.
Table 3 presents the parking requirements for the proposed Project using LLG’s
empirical parking rates, in addition to the ratios per ATE for comparison. As shown,
the proposed Project will have a minimum surplus of 64 spaces, 69 spaces, and 87
spaces, respectively for a holiday, typical weekday and typical weekend day when
compared to a parking supply of 253 spaces. As shown in the last two rows of Table
3, parking surpluses will be greater based on the application of LLG Vivante and
ATE parking ratios.
Based on the above findings, the proposed 253 spaces would be sufficient to
accommodate the expected peak parking demands of the proposed Project, inclusive
of the combined demand of residents, staff/employees, and guests. Given these
results, we conclude that the proposed parking supply of 253 spaces is adequate to
accommodate the California Grand Villages at Azusa Greens anticipated parking needs.
Parking Information from Potential Operator
One of the potential operators for the proposed senior facility is ISL Ventures. ISL
Ventures reviewed the proposed Project and prepared a letter that documents their
approach in estimating parking demands for the site based on general information
compiled from over 80 communities that they manage. This letter includes detailed
staffing information by time of day and also includes shift overlays, resident parking,
guest parking, vendors and carpooling. Attached to this report as Appendix A is the
letter prepared by ISL Ventures. ISL Ventures estimates a parking demand for this

type of facility to have a parking need of 182 spaces. In addition, ISL Ventures
concludes that the Project provides more than adequate parking to accommodate their
parking needs.
Direct comparison between ISL Venture estimates to that of the empirical data
collected by LLG shows similar results between the two. Therefore, based on all of
the information provided above, LLG concludes that the proposed Project has
adequate parking to accommodate the parking needs for this type of facility.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The California Grand Villages at Azusa Greens Project is proposing to construct a
253-unit independent living village for seniors and amenities that includes a
restaurant/food service, recreation center, pool/spa and gym. The Project site is a
4.48± rectangular-shaped parcel of land that is generally located at the southeast
corner of Sierra Madre Avenue and Todd Avenue in the northwest corner of the
City of Azusa within the Azusa Greens Country Club. The subject property,
which zoned “open space” in the City’s General Plan Land Use Map/Zoning Map,
is a part of the golf course. The proposed Project will consist of 253-units, of
which 199 are specified for senior independent living, 28 for senior assisted
living, and 26 for senior memory care. While primarily an independent living
village, the assisted living and memory care provide continuing care as needed. A
total of 253 parking spaces is proposed within a four level parking garage.
2. This parking demand analysis validates that the proposed parking supply of 253
spaces is adequate to accommodate the parking needs of the Project.
3. The City’s Municipal Code only provides a parking code ratio for Senior Housing
Projects, which would apply to Senior Citizen Apartments and not to full-serve
Residential Care Facility for Elderly use developments like that of the proposed
Project. Hence, consistent with the City’s Municipal Code, the parking
requirements for the Project is “based on quantitative information provided by the
applicant that documents the need for fewer spaces for these type of residential
projects”, with a focus to information provided in the 4th Edition of Parking
Generation, published by ITE, as well as actual field study empirical parking
ratios from similar sites to determine the proposed Project’s parking needs.
4. Direct application of ITE peak parking ratios to the development totals results in a
parking requirement of 132 parking spaces for the proposed senior independent
living development, 30 parking spaces for the proposed assisted living and

memory care component of the Project and 9 spaces for additional staffing. With
a proposed parking supply of 253 spaces, a parking surplus of 82 spaces is
forecast for the proposed Project.
5. Based on application of empirical parking rates, which were development based
on parking studies of facilities similar to that of the proposed Project and include
the demand associated with residents, staff/employees and guests, the proposed
253 spaces would be sufficient to accommodate the expected peak parking
demands of the proposed Project.
6. Given these results, we conclude that adequate parking would be provided on site
to accommodate the proposed Project.

RE: Projected Parking Requirements
California Grand Villages, Azusa, CA
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick,
As part of our evaluation of your California Grand Villages project (the “Community”), we have
created and refined detailed expectations of the Community’s staffing structure at stabilization.
We have also projected parking requirements for this community based significantly upon the
staffing structure and ISL’s programming and operations standards and experience. A summary
our these parking requirements is attached for your review.
We conclude that California Grand Villages, as currently designed and utilizing ISL’s
programming and operations models, will require and comfortably operate with 182 parking
spaces.
While we are neither parking or traffic experts, nor third party traffic and parking consultants, we
feel quite confident that our parking assessment reasonably projects the number of parking spaces
the Community will need to comfortably satisfy our operational needs. ISL Ventures is the sister
development company of Integral Senior Living, a national senior housing company who currently
operates over 80 communities and who cares for and employs thousands of residents and
employees. Our principals and key executives have opened over 100 ground-up senior housing
developments and we have incorporated this experience and our extensive operating data into our
parking projection.
Sincerely,
David Simon
